Milan want to return to the Champions League. Alongside the desire repeatedly expressed by Gerry Cardinale and Ruben Amorim to win, one of the clear objectives shared by the Rossoneri owner and head coach is to return to playing in Europe’s elite competition. Last season, even putting their faith in an experienced coach such as Massimiliano Allegri did not bear fruit. This year, they are taking a different route. Or perhaps two, because there are two possible paths back to the Champions League.
The Corriere della Sera highlights this morning how the Europa League could be Milan’s "Plan B". To return to the Champions League, the Rossoneri can either finish fourth or fifth, which will be a difficult task, or target winning the Europa League.
There are two possible routes. The subheading reads:
"Milan, who have failed to take off in Italy, make their Europa League debut against Benfica. Amorim and Ramos’ game of the heart."
The predicted line-up rumours are also reported: "The first game of the league phase. Modric out, Hutchinson in."
