AC Milan will today find out their fate in the Champions League group stage draw that will take place in Turkey this evening.
The draw will take place in Istanbul – a city that Milan know all too well – at 18:00 CEST. Milan will be placed in the first pot together with the other champions of the leagues around Europe plus the winner of the Europa League, Eintracht Frankfurt.
Of course this means that the hardest opponents are found in the second band but there is also the chance for the third and fourth pots to give some nasty surprises.
La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews) have drawn up what they believe to be the best and worst case scenario for Milan.
Best scenario: Milan (ITA), Leipzig (GET), Shakhtar (UKR), Maccabi Haifa (ISR).
Worst scenario: MILAN (ITA), Liverpool (ENG), Dortmund (GER), Marseille (FRA).
Do you agree with the paper’s assessments? Let us know in the comments.
I take Tottenham from pot 2 because Conte sucks in European competitions. Leipzig the easiest? Nah.
Shakhtar could be very dangerous because they’ll be extremely motivated. Also a side that has tons of experience in the CL. I actually wouldn’t mind Dortmund w/o Haaland. Leverkusen too.
On Shakhtar? Most easiest because they are not as sharp as before
Dream is Milan, Sevilla, Shakhtar and Maccabi Haifa… I feel like Leipzig could give us more issues than Sevilla.
Hardest possible group is Milan, Liverpool, Dortmund and Rangers. I feel like Rangers are superior to Marseille and would give us more issues.
That said… we were robbed vs Atleti last season otherwise we would’ve been in the last 16.
I believe we can have a good run in this competition this year ,of course we need to have a favourable draw at the beginning…We are ,however ,I believe capable of beating most teams with the present squad that we have ,at our disposal..I also believe we are going to have a good amount of goals from Oliver Giroud,and against the best teams this man seems to produce his best ..We AC Milan have a very good team indeed ..so let’s keep believing ,just as Oliver Giroud always does ..
I want revenge on Liverpool like 2005 and 2007.
My dream Milan group is as follows, Milan, Liverpool, Maccabi and Shakhtar.
Am even looking for a big teams like them chalsea or Barca
Alhaji, I swear I know say u be Naija😂😂
Those big teams will give me betnaija money.
Up Milan.
Sell Leao and buy Lang.
Of the best teams Chelsea is by far the most likely to have a bad day on any day. Milam have no business struggling against Salzburg or Ghareb. This really is a great draw for ACM.
