La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper reports on what could be the best draw for AC Milan in the Champions League competition: if superstition is to be believed, it would be hard for any Rossoneri fan to find a better history than the one Milan has against the strong Bayern Munich team.
These memories date back to black and white times when Rivera & Co eliminated Beckenbauer and his teammates in the Cup Winners' Cup semifinals of 1968. In more recent times, who could forget that in the quarter-finals of the last victorious Champions League run in 2007, Milan eliminated the Bavarians (2-2 at San Siro, 2-0 at the Allianz Arena, with goals from Seedorf and Inzaghi)?
Therefore, assuming it's better to carefully avoid the overwhelming City and the perennial Real of the great former coach Ancelotti, acknowledging the enormous emotional weight a derby with Inter would have, and considering it's best to stay away from this Napoli, it's worth relying on happy memories and aiming for Munich. Because if you win, you accomplish something great, and if you lose, you can always say you went out against Bayern. It's also highly possible that the team in Munich would want to avoid none other than AC Milan.
