AC Milan's path in the Europa League continues. After getting access to the round of 16, they drew Slavia Prague. It's a very good team who has already had the merit of beating Roma and taking the top spot in the Europa League groups.
AC Milan must not underestimate their opponents, as told by Franco Baresi yesterday.
Among the possible opponents, however, it could have been much worse considering that at the time of the draw there was a 50-50 chance with Bayer Leverkusen, the absolute dominator of the Bundesliga, even ahead of Bayern Munich.
La Gazzetta dello Sport highlights how Milan was 'lucky' unlike Roma and Atalanta, respectively against Brighton and Sporting Lisbon. We read the following headline:
"An Europa League that for all three Italian teams can become possible"
Of course, Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen have the qualities to go all the way in this competition. AC Milan, for their part, has Olivier Giroud, Christian Pulisic, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek on its side, who know how to win a Europa League.
Samuel Chukwueze can also say the same thing, having won the tournament in 2021 with Villarreal.
