Rafael Benitez, the former Real Madrid, Liverpool and Inter head coach who also coached Napoli, gave a long interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The topic was the 2024-25 Champions League. Milan, after losing their first two matches against Leverkusen and Liverpool, has bounced back with four consecutive victories.
Here are his thoughts on the Rossoneri:
"This keeps alive the prospect of an Italian quartet. It's clear that it will take some big performances, but also favorable coincidences. However, if we consider the upcoming matches—PSG vs. City, Atletico vs. Leverkusen, and Liverpool vs. Lille—we can see that some of these teams might slip up."
Rafael Benitez added:
"Milan is on their fourth consecutive win and has erased the negative start against Liverpool and Leverkusen."
The Rossoneri currently sit at 12 points in the standings, with the playoffs nearly secured and the top 8 within reach.
