23-year-old Gimenez left Feyenoord in the closing stages of the January transfer window and joined AC Milan for a reported fee of around €35 million.
The Mexican striker opened the scoring after just 37 seconds, tying the two sides in the second leg of their knock-out fight. "I don't know if I have scored that quickly before. I can't remember," the 32-time Mexican international said after the game.
Gimenez spent a total of two-and-a-half years at Feyenoord and scored a total of 65 goals in 105 appearances for the Rotterdam club. During his time there, the Mexican won the Eredivisie, the KNVB Cup, and the Johan Cruyff Shield.
"Of course, there were a lot of emotions involved, But leaving was a good experience. I'm just very sad now because we didn't reach the next round. We have to learn from this. My congratulations go to Feyenoord and I hope they get very far."
