Stefano Pioli: “The job is not done yet”
After the first leg, AC Milan was perhaps the most satisfied of the two. Trainer Stefano Pioli aims for a positive result for this return. Also, he adds that there is still a lot that can happen on Wednesday: “”We want to go to the final and we have to beat these teams for that. The result of last week is positive, but a challenging game awaits us on Wednesday. The job is not done.”
Statistics
The first leg was played in Manchester last Thursday, but no winner was announced. Both teams scored once so that nothing has been decided on Thursday. With a shot from Amad Diallo, Manchester United quickly took the lead. At the end of the match, AC Milan just managed to make up for that with Simon Kjaer, who scored after an impressive run (92nd minute).
Head 2 Head
AC Milan last played at home against Manchester United in the 2009/2010 season. This was then a Champions League match in which the team from Milan was beaten 2-3.
In Manchester, it then became another 4-0 for the English team, which then progressed to the Champions League’s quarter-finals.
Current form AC Milan
AC Milan started this week with bad news. Last weekend, the home game in Serie A against Napoli was lost 0-1. As a result, AC Milan is losing sight of fellow city rivals and leaders in Inter Milan. Inter is first with 65 points, and AC Milan only has 56 points.
Current form Manchester United
Manchester United did win in its own league last weekend. West Ham United was defeated 1-0 in the Premier League thanks to West Ham player Craig Dawson’s own goal.
Just under two weeks ago, the leader and fellow townsman Manchester City were still beaten: 0-2.
