Milan travel to Juventus this weekend with both sides on maximum points, and Gazzetta dello Sport frames the meeting as a test between two of the few teams still perfect in Serie A.
After a summer that left plenty of questions open, Milan have answered on the pitch. The performances themselves have not always been convincing, but the results have, and the Rossoneri sit level at the top having taken six points from six.
Gazzetta dello Sport bills the fixture as an exam for the sides who have started flawlessly. Both Milan and Juventus have won their opening two, and the paper points to one player at the heart of each team who has made an impact without yet starting.
For Milan, that man is Adrien Rabiot. The Frenchman was central to the side last season and has carried that form into the new campaign, despite the questions raised over his future during the summer window.
His influence has come through decisive moments in both of the opening fixtures, and he now returns to face the club where he spent years before joining Milan.
Juventus have their own version of that story in Nico Gonzalez. The forward scored off the bench against Parma last weekend and represents a threat Milan will have to account for.
For a match between two unbeaten sides, the men on the bench may end up deciding it, and Rabiot's reunion with Juventus adds an edge before a ball is kicked.
