The stage is set for a highly anticipated clash between AC Milan and Tottenham, as the two European giants meet in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. With a raucous atmosphere expected at the iconic San Siro stadium, both sides will be looking to gain an advantage in what promises to be a thrilling encounter.
Although the Rossoneri will be without talismanic striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was not included in the UEFA list, his unwavering support for the team will undoubtedly be felt. Speaking to Milan TV, the Swede expressed his excitement for the occasion. Here are his words:
"These nights are fantastic. Milan has a great history in the Champions League. You can see it in the atmosphere, in the fans: it's an extra thing. Then, not everyone has the chance to play in the Champions League. It's a fantastic moment, a moment to enjoy but at the same time stay focused and do everything to win. It's an incredible atmosphere."
Ibrahimovic continued:
"All the games that come are new games, you can't compare them with other games or teams. Anything can happen, you have to believe in the game that is coming. It's the details that make the difference, we can do it."
