GdS: Milan can dream about Champions League success with ‘destiny’ possible | OneFootball

AC Milan have not reached the Champions League final for almost 20 years, and a report today has suggested they could do it this year.

As things stand, Milan are on track to reach the final 16 of the Champions League via qualification from the top eight of the group stage. Because of this, people have started dreaming about the possibilities that this season could bring.

The Rossoneri’s season has been ironic in some ways. Whilst they have struggled in Serie A, they have excelled in Europe and the Supercoppa Italiana, as Gazzetta dello Sport (via Milan Press) writes, and this leads to questions.

Throughout the history of the Champions League, the Diavolo are recognisable as one of the very best and hold a certain pedigree as a result of this. After all, it is deeply ingrained into the club’s DNA for success in Europe.

Sergio Conceicao has a chance to prove this. After the events in Saudi Arabia and the win in the Champions League against Girona, he has proven that his side is difficult to beat. However, the same feeling is currently not present domestically.

Rafael Leao has taken on a new role and has matured quickly, and whilst the squad will not get carried away, there is already a dream of completing something substantial in Europe. After all, ‘destiny’ is in their own hands, and Milan are ‘back for real’, as the report claims.
