Speaking to Sky Sport Italia, AC Milan's boss, Stefano Pioli, had this to say before the game against Dinamo Zagreb at the Maksimir stadium:
"It will have to be a Milan match. It will be difficult, but decisive for the passage of the round. We have prepared it well."
He added:
"De Ketelaere night? It must be Milan's night, we must be compact. The qualities of the individuals are evident, they could give us something more. Dinamo Zagreb's attitude has always been to wait for the opponents and start on the counter attacks, I chose this formation to have some more offensive duels."
Pioli concluded:
"We will have to play a high-level match, I have a team that is focused and aware of the opportunity."
