AC Milan will find out their fate tomorrow when the draw for the Champions League group stages is officially completed.
The Rossoneri will participate in Europe’s elite club competition for the first time since the 2013-14 season thanks to finishing second in the league last season, but they will be facing a potentially tough draw given their UEFA ranking.
We are waiting for the last three matches tonight which will complete the pot of the 32 teams entitled to participate in the group stage of the Champions League. Here are the four pots…
Pot 1: Chelsea, Villarreal, Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Inter, Lille, Sporting Lisbon.
Pot 2: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, Manchester United, Psg, Liverpool, Sevilla, Borussia Dortmund.
Pot 3: Porto, Ajax, Leipzig, Atalanta, Zenit St. Petersburg, Benfica, Besiktas and Dinamo Kiev (if Shakhtar and Salzburg progress they are relegated to the fourth pot).
Pot 4: Milan, Bruges, Young Boys, Malmö, Wolfsburg.
The games tonight: Brondby vs. Salzburg (1st leg 1-2), Dinamo Zagabira vs. Sheriff Tiraspol (1st leg 0-3) and Shakhtar Donetsk vs. Monaco (1st leg 1-0).

In my view i hope we meet these teams
pot 1 – Villarreal, Lille or Sporting Lisbon.
pot 2 – Sevilla or Borussia Dortmund.
Pot 3 – Pretty much all should be be in our means to beat
to my knowledge then we cant endup playing against italian teams unless something has been changed in the setup.
Quick question: if brøndby manages to beat salzburg will they be in pot 3 then because that would be a dream draw for me and other danish ac milan fans ?
How come Juventus and Atalanta are in Pot 2 and 3 respectively and Milan in pot 4? Milan finished ahead of both? Or does the draw take historical data into account, seeing that Milan has been absent from the Champions League the past 7 seasons?
Yes historical data account
Thanks Solomon! Seems as Milan probably end up in a group of death..
It is indeed because we havent gotten as many points in europe recently as them that they are better ranked and thereby has a more favourable draw than us.
Bring it on Chelsea/City, PSG/MU, Porto/Leipzig/Atalanta, we’re READY FFS….so beat it lmao.
We are good to go.it is in our DNA
Johntea I agree with you 💯 percent, it is in Milan’s DNA
Part of me wants to see PSG, City, Chelsea or whoever. Seeing Milan back playing those title contenders will be amazing!! . On the other hand, i want an easier group, perhaps advance? .. ughhhrhrhrhr i havent been this exited about a draw in a long time
We are coming back
Everyone is scare.
whatever clubs we are facing, we always win on the opponent’s home
I would like a group with Real Madrid or Barcelona. I know that whatever group we end up in is going to be extremely difficult, but at the same time, this is it, this is the moment we’ve been waiting for so long, we wanted Milan to play against the best in the world again, and here we are, and that’s very exciting!! It’s going to be a priceless experience for this very young team and a fantastic chance for the boys to show their talent at the highest level!!
Its champions league no hiding in the corners , if we are determined we can meet any team
We did not became the best by avoiding the good teams, we are AC Milan!!
