After the heavy 3-0 in London a week ago, Milan reacted immediately on Saturday in the league, dominating and beating Juventus 2-0 at San Siro. In football it is often said that “a team that wins, you don’t change” and so Stefano Pioli, for tonight’s match against Chelsea, intends to confirm almost in full the starting line-up that he has lined up against the bianconeri.
DEFENSE CONFIRMED – This was reported this morning by Tuttosport who also reports that the Rossoneri coach has recovered Junior Messias for this challenge, but has lost Charles De Ketelaere, who was forced to stop due to a muscle strain. In front of Tatarusanu, space again for the central pair composed of Matteo Gabbia and Fikayo Tomori, as well as on the outside there will still be Pierre Kalulu on the right and Theo Hernandez on the left. The Frenchman, absent from the first leg, will have to be Milan’s extra man in tonight’s match.
A CHANGE – Very confirmed in midfield Ismael Bennacer and Sandro Tonali, while the only new line-up will be the third midfielder: in fact Tommaso Pobega played against Juventus, tonight Pioli will field Rade Krunic. No change instead in attack where there will be Brahim Diaz on the right, Olivieri Giroud as center-forward and Rafael Leao on the left. As the Rossoneri coach said yesterday at a press conference, his Milan must prove tonight that the defeat in London was only an episode.
