Imagine you’ve lost 14 consecutive league games, the first 14 of the season, and you are rooted to the bottom of Italy’s Serie A.
Then imagine you’re up against the mighty AC Milan who, despite being a shadow of their former selves these days, are expected to wipe the floor with you.
That’s what faced Benevento, who set the record for the worst start to a season ever in the top five European leagues, during their home match on Sunday.
