Tomorrow evening at San Siro, the match will resume from the 1-0 result of the first leg in the Netherlands in favour of Feyenoord. For Milan, who must win by a two-goal margin to qualify for the Champions League Round of 16, this is a game they cannot afford to fail,not only for sporting reasons but also for financial ones. Advancing to the next round would allow the Rossoneri to collect an additional 11 million euros.
Milan must raise the level.
Corriere della Sera reported this morning that the mission is absolutely possible, but Milan will need to show a very different performance compared to the one seen a week ago in Rotterdam. The team must also improve their level of play compared to the league match two days ago against Hellas Verona, which the Rossoneri won with great difficulty.
Against the Verona side, Santiago Gimenez was decisive, scoring the crucial goal. The striker, who has netted twice in his first two Serie A appearances, is now expected to make an impact in Europe as well, against his former club.
The 4 attacking stars from the first minute again?
A week ago in the Netherlands, Sergio Conceição fielded the "Fabulous 4": Christian Pulisic, Joao Felix, Rafael Leao, and Santiago Gimenez, from the start for the first time.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned, and the four stars disappointed, just like the rest of the Milan team.
Will they be in the starting lineup again tomorrow at San Siro, given that Milan needs to come back and win by two goals?
The Rossoneri coach will make his final decision today after returning from Portugal, where he traveled yesterday to attend the funeral of Pinto da Costa, the historic Porto president who passed away at the age of 87, and to whom the Milan coach was deeply attached.
