KYLE WALKER’s stint with AC Milan has got off to a disastrous start.
The England international joined the Italian giants in the January transfer window on loan from Manchester City.
The prospect of playing Champions League football at the iconic San Siro stadium was no doubt one of the things that attracted Walker to the move.
But just 25 days after his Milan move, the Rossoneiri are now no longer in Europe‘s elite club competition.
Milan were dumped out of the prestigious tournament thanks to a 2-1 aggregate defeat in their last-16 qualifier.
Feyenoord, who secured a stunning 3-3 draw with Walker’s parent club last year, went into the second leg leading the tie 1-0.
But Santiago Jiminez cancelled out their lead less than 60 seconds into the return leg and laid the foundations for a big comeback.
Sergio Conceicao’s troops huffed and puffed but failed to breach the vistors’ goal a second time.
And they paid the price in the 73rd minute when Julian Carranza struck to restore the visitor’s advantage and fire them into the last 16.
Walker and his Milan team-mates cut frustrated figures after the final whilst.
The visitors, on the other hand, were ecstatic with their famous progression through to the knockout stages.
It’s been a rough few days for Walker, who is currently renting a £10,000-a-week apartment in the heart of Milan.
The former Sheffield United and Spurs ace was hooked at HALF-TIME during AC Milan’s 1-0 win over Hellas Verona last weekend.
And to make matters worse, his replacement, Alex Jimenez, went on to help set up the winning goal.
