This evening at 9:00 PM CEST, Milan's new European dream begins. The Rossoneri will host Liverpool at San Siro in one of the headline matches of the first day of this new Champions League, which kicks off today.

It will also be a new European debut for coach Paulo Fonseca, who, in this competition, between Porto and Shakhtar, has never gone beyond the round of 16.
The Portuguese coach expressed confidence in yesterday's press conference, and Corriere dello Sport newspaper today summarised his words with the following headline:
"Fonseca: a chance for Milan."
A note about Milan's current situation was added: "After the win against Venezia, a solid performance is needed to put behind the criticism and doubts. However, the coach is confident of receiving positive responses from the group."
Then a direct quote from the coach, showing his optimism: "The Champions League is an opportunity to show our growth. Liverpool is different compared to Serie A."
