After an all too painful qualification process, the campaign officially begins from Celtic Park in Glasgow Europa League of the Milan which will address the Celtic for the first day of group H, what is considered by many to be the “circle of death” and which also includes Sparta Prague and Lille. Pioli will not have Rebic and Calhanoglu available but will be able to count on Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the center of the attack.
STATISTICS – The one between Milan and Celtic is the first direct clash since 2013/14. The two sides have met eight times this century, with Celtic winning only once (D2, L5). Milan are currently unbeaten in 12 consecutive away games in all competitions (7 wins, 5 draws).
