AC Milan technical director, Paolo Maldini, spoke to Infinity+ about the game that is about to kick off in a few minutes:
"The chance to qualify? It is our goal, we had to chase and do the work in Madrid and we hope that fate will give us a hand. Being here to play it is still a good thing "
Qualifying to the next stage brings you a good revenue to invest in the transfer window...
"It is not the qualification that determines our strategy. We have a deep squad, with two players per position. We would like to face the important matches with everyone available, but there are these years, in which you get hurt for nothing", said Maldini
How important is the defensive phase tonight?
"It is essential, despite having territorial advantage we will have to be careful. We will need to find the right balance to face one of the best teams in the world at the moment, together with Bayern."
Maldini reveals who showed a lot of progress this year so far:
"There are a number of players who are young, the one who gave an acceleration is perhaps Leao himself. He showed that in 1 vs 1 he makes the difference in Italy and in Europe."
