On the first date of the Serie A of the 2016/2017 season, Carlos Bacca showed with a hat-trick against Torino that he was committed to Milan despite the rumors about his possible transfer to PSG, Sevilla, or West Ham.
August 21, 2016: Hat-trick at San Siro
On August 21, 2016, the forward scored a total hat-trick at San Siro. A goal with his head, a goal with his left leg, and a goal with his right leg. Carlos Bacca was the standout player against Torino, and the Colombian was substituted in the 87th minute to a standing ovation from the rossoneri fans for his excellent performance.
Bacca started his second season as a goalscorer for Milan against Torino. In his first season, he scored 18 goals, and this season, 2016/2017, he is already the top scorer with seven goals despite a three-month goal drought.
Positive start of the year for Carlos Bacca
He scored the winning goal against Cagliari and continued to give life to Milan in the battle for a spot in Europe. The Italian team has not qualified for the Champions League or Europa League since 2013.
Another final of the Italian Cup with Milan. Carlos Bacca already has two finals and one title with the Italian team. This week, he once again dispelled all rumors about his departure. "I feel part of Milan's project, I'm here to give my best and return to Europe. I don't want to leave, this is a great team. I am happy here," said the forward.
Montella trusts Bacca. The Italian press asked him in a press conference if he would change the Niang-Bacca formula that had given so many good results in the forward's first season. "Bacca and Lapadula will not start together against Torino; we will stick with the 4-3-3," said the coach.
The fans, Montella, and Carlos Bacca are very happy with his return to scoring goals. Against Torino, goals are expected and qualification to the semifinals of the Italian Cup.
