As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper in this morning's print edition, AC Milan, still sitting at 0 points in the Champions League, is ready to mount a comeback.
There is no drama following the defeats against Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen.
Now, at least 3 victories and 9 points are needed in the next 5 games. The club's goal is to progress, aiming for positions between ninth and twenty-fourth.
The upcoming opponents are within reach: Club Brugge, Slovan Bratislava, and Red Star Belgrade. In between, there's the away match against Real Madrid.
Milan, no panic from Gerry Cardinale...
Gerry Cardinale is not worried. There is no panic regarding the first two losses, but advancing in the competition will be crucial.
Regarding the UEFA Champions League earnings, it’s 2 million euros for each win and 700,000 euros for a draw. Nothing that heavily impacts the budget, but advancing and being visible on global TV in the most important and profitable tournament is vital for the club. For now, though, the focus is on the next Serie A match which is with Fiorentina.
