It is already Champions League eve for Milan. The victory against Verona in the 25th day of Serie A, which allowed Mike Maignan and his teammates to nibble a few points off the teams in front (Fiorentina lost, Lazio drew), has already gone in the archives. A crucial game against Feyenoord will be played tomorrow.
The Diavolo restarts from the first leg defeat. A zero-to-one to overturn to fly to the Champions League round of 16. No excuses are allowed. It is an important goal for Sergio Conceiçao and his men who cannot and must not fail. Then it will be on to the championship, where they will need to put in a major run of form to really ignite the comeback.
The roster available to the Portuguese coach, who flew to Portugal this morning to attend Pinto da Costa’s funeral, is practically full. Bondo, who like Jimenez and Sottile, however, are not on the Champions League list, also joined the group on Friday. Instead, there is Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who is almost ready, but against Feyenoord he will be on the bench at most.

Today’s eve training will be held in the afternoon and not in the morning as is customary, and the press conference will once again feature Zlatan Ibrahimovic, accompanied by Fikayo Tomori. There is anticipation to see what Sergio Conceicao’s choices will be, especially in attack.
In defense, the presence of the Englishman, appears to be a more than clear indication. At his side it is most likely that Pavlovic will still be there. On the outsides there are unlikely to be any surprises: Theo Hernandez and Walker, in fact, have no alternatives. In midfield, Tijjani Riejnders and Youssouf Fofana never rest, although they may soon do so, especially in the league, thanks to Bondo and Loftus-Cheek.
As mentioned, attentions are mainly focused on the offensive department, where the magic quadrilateral, which disappointed in Rotterdam, is unlikely to be seen again. So one of the three will initially sit on the bench and the number one candidate to do so, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, is Christian Pulisic. Playing will therefore be Rafa Leao, who returns as a starter, with Joao Felix and of course Santi Gimenez. Completing the lineup will be Yunus Musah.
