AC Milan opened Serie A with a bang on Sunday, beating Lecce 4-0 and introducing freshly signed Zlatan Ibrahimovic to the San Siro crowd at halftime.
Alexandre Pato scored twice, Thiago Silva also found the net in the first half and substitute Filippo Inzaghi added the 154th Serie A goal of his career in the 90th minute.
With his transfer from Barcelona finalized Saturday, Ibrahimovic walked out on a red carpet at halftime and told the fans: "I came here to win. This year we're winning everything."
The former Inter Milan striker then returned to his seat next to Milan president and Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi.
Milan's new manager Massimiliano Allegri acknowledged that Ibrahimovic's arrival "created enthusiasm.
"It was important to start well against a newly promoted side," Allegri said.
"It was a good game. Our physical condition still isn't 100 percent but that's normal at this stage."
Ibrahimovic will probably make his Milan debut in two weeks' time against newly promoted Cesena.
With Pato, Ronaldinho, Marco Borriello and Inzaghi in attack, Allegri could face a tough choice over who to remove to make room for the Sweden forward.
"We've got 14 days to think about that," Allegri said.
Earlier, a revamped Juventus lost 0-1 to Bari, with Massimo Donati scoring a 43rd-minute winner.
Napoli and Fiorentina drew 1-1 in a match that both sides ended with 10 men.
Newly signed Uruguay forward Edinson Cavani put Napoli in front in the seventh minute - though replays showed that the ball did not cross the goalline after it bounced down from the crossbar. Gaetano D'Agostino equalized for Fiorentina in the 50th after being set up by Alberto Gilardino.
Sampdoria bounced back from its Champions League playoff loss by beating Lazio 2-0 with goals from Antonio Cassano and Stefano Guberti.
Also, it was: Chievo Verona 2, Catania 1; Palermo 0, Cagliari 0; and Parma 2, Brescia 0.
