Milan so far perfect in Serie A will have the last chance today to continue their European adventure (follow the match live on As.com). As Pioli said, it is true that the good performances against Liverpool and Atleti deserved a prize, but the sad 0 in the standings also depended on the bad game in Porto. Today the Dragons arrive at San Siro and the coach promised that he will not think about the fundamental derby della Madonnina on Sunday. His decisions confirm it: except for surprises, the Italian will line up his best possible eleven. Brahim will be seen again after having been out of combat for a month due to COVID-19, and it’s great news for the front.
Giroud should give Ibrahimovic rest after his big game in Rome, while in the core will be Tonali and one between Kessié and Bennacer. Theo, who will miss the derby by suspension, will obviously be untouchable on the left wing. Porto is experiencing a similar situation. In his domestic league he is being unstoppable and needs points to stay alive in Europe, although a tie would not hurt. Conceiçao arrives with casualties: he announced that Wendell will not be there and that it will be “very difficult” to see Marcano and Uribe. For the coach, the last Milan position does not mean much: “They did not deserve to lose to Atleti.”
