San Siro, next Champions League destination

Míchel Sánchez's men face today the penultimate game of the Champions League group stage, and the last away game. They do so by visiting a top level stage, San Siro, to face a team with a lot of history, AC Milan. The Italians are the third team with the most European titles in their trophy cabinet and have lifted the Champions League seven times, although their performance this year has been irregular. In the top continental competition they have accumulated a record of four wins and two defeats that places them in twelfth place with twelve points with two games to go, but in the league they are eighth. However, until last weekend's defeat at Juventus, they had gone eight consecutive matches without defeat and recently won the Italian Super Cup, defeating Inter in the final. In the Champions League, they have won four consecutive victories in the last matches (Crvena Zvezda, Slovan Bratislava, Real Madrid and Brugge), and only lost in the first two matches against Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen.

AC Milan's own names

The Italians have recently made a change on the bench, with Sérgio Conceição taking over from Paulo Fonseca. The Portuguese coach landed in the best way, beating Juventus and Inter to lift the Super Cup, and in the league he has a record of one win, one draw and one defeat. With a long past at Porto, this is only his second experience outside Portugal and today he will live his first Champions League night with Milan. The squad boasts some outstanding names such as Pulisic, top scorer with ten goals, Reijnders, who follows with eight, and Alvaro Morata and Leao, who have six goals each. In their ranks they have many players with a past in the Spanish league, such as Jovic, Chukwueze, Morata himself or two key players in the defense such as Theo Hernández and Emerson.
