Mattia Caldara was delighted to make his debut in AC Milan's Europa League win at Dudelange.

The defender enjoyed a full 90 in Luxembourg.

“I knew this was a fundamental game for me and for the team, as we wanted to start the Europa League well," Caldara told Sky Sport Italia.

“It was a difficult match, because we couldn't take it for granted and had everything to lose. It was crucial to keep the right attitude throughout and we emerged with the points.

“It has been a real learning curve, as every training session I learn something new, such as where my teammates like to cross the ball and in my positioning.

“I can't wait to repay this glorious club for the faith it has shown in me."
