The reasons behind Milan's incredible unbeaten streak

After winning the 2011 Scudetto, Milan did not experience much joy. The team led by Stefano Pioli had only won the Supercoppa Italiana in 2012 and 2017 since then. However, the present of Milan is very promising: the Italian club has won the first four games of this season, is leading the Serie A with 12 points and is dreaming to win the tournament. 

In addition, Milan is on a 20-game unbeaten streak, something that had not happened since 1995. The last time Milan lost was in the 4-2 defeat against Inter on February 2, 2020. Without a doubt, the arrival of striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is one of the main reasons for the team's great present. 

The Swede said that if he had arrived earlier, Milan would have been the champion. Maybe it's true... Since returning to the club in December 2019, the forward has scored 16 goals and given 16 assists in 23 games. In adittion, he scored twice in the 2-1 victory over Inter last Saturday. 

In addition, defense is one of the team's strengths. In the first four games of Serie A, Milan only conceded one goal (in the match against Inter). Defenders Davide Calabria, Simon Kjaer, Alessio Romagnoli and Theo Hernández and goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma are the key players in the defense.
