AC Milan have never won the Europa League competition. But, they have players who have experienced players who won that trophy and they are Olivier Giroud and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
They both won it with Chelsea, under the guidance of another Italian coach: Maurizio Sarri.
Now, both are looking to repeat that achievement with the Rossoneri club. The AC Milan squad has already won 3-0 at home against Rennes. Now, their job will be to secure qualification from France and not underestimate the team coached by Julien Stéphan.
The competition does not have the charm of the Champions League, but it is still important for Milan. Not only because there is a place in the Rossoneri's trophy cabinet, but also because, despite Pioli's cautious prediction, Milan becomes a favorite alongside Liverpool. And it would really be a beautiful final, worthy of history and the historic Champions League, as pointed by Calciomercato.com.
