Santi Giménez continues to prove himself as a top-class striker in Europe. This time, the Mexican forward scored against his former club, Feyenoord, in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League knockout round, enforcing the famous "Ex-Player Rule."

Early Goal and Respect for His Former Club

The goal came just one minute into the match when Malick Thiaw delivered a perfect cross into the six-yard box. Giménez rose high and expertly headed the ball into the net, leveling the aggregate score and reigniting AC Milan’s hopes.

Despite the significance of the goal, Santi showed respect for his former club, apologizing in his celebration and refraining from an overly enthusiastic reaction as a tribute to the team that gave him his breakthrough in European football.

Giménez, a Striker in Top Form

With this goal, Santi Giménez continues his hot streak in the Champions League. He now has three goals and one assist in just four matches for AC Milan, bringing his total to six goals in the competition, including the five he previously scored with Feyenoord.

Additionally, the Mexican striker broke a historic record, becoming the fastest player ever to score for two different clubs in Champions League history.
