Tonight at 9 PM CET, Milan will be hosted by Roma in the return leg of the Europa League quarter-finals at the Olimpico stadium.
They will restart from the 1-0 lead for the Gialorossi from the first leg a week ago at San Siro, and there is a great desire in the Rossoneri camp to overturn that result.
This morning, La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper reported that a second-place finish in the league and a second consecutive European semifinal could be two important points to bring to the table at the end of the season when head coach Stefano Pioli meets with the Milan management to assess the season and discuss the future. After the first leg, there were criticisms of Pioli, who nevertheless absolutely believes in the comeback.
In the past few hours, there has been much speculation about the possibility of seeing Milan with a heavy attack (Samuel Chukwueze, Christian Pulisic, and Rafael Leao supporting Olivier Giroud) from the first minute given the need to overturn the result, but in the end, the Rossoneri coach will field the usual four upfront, namely Pulisic and Leao on the wings and Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the playmaker role behind Giroud. Chukwueze and the other attackers (Okafor and Jovic) will be cards to be played during the match.
