“It’s an unbelievable club. It goes beyond what I could expect. When you experience it, that’s when you realise how big this club is, how unbelievable the people are, the atmosphere and the Champions League nights, going to AXA Training Centre, the people and the players. It has been a joy.

“When I signed, I knew it was a special club. Someone told me ‘Divock, it is a special club but you have to experience it’. It’s like being at Anfield, you need to experience it. It is something I will keep with me for the rest of my life.

“I am always trying to put the team first and trying to be the best Divock I can be. I try to help the team as much as I can and trust the coach will make the right decisions. I want to be on the pitch every single minute but, even more than that, I want to win. We have an unbelievable group and we achieved so many great things. Hopefully there is one more important game where we can achieve a little bit more.”

“We can be very proud and take this experience and, as a team, keep building on it. We want to finish off the season on a very big high,” Origi added.

Truly, Football without Origi is nothing as it is with Origi. AC Milan will sure have in its rank a world class player.
