AC Milan are hoping to pull off a shock in the Champions League tonight at the home of the current holders Real Madrid.
You can find the full details regarding team news and some insight on the opposition in our pre-match preview. The injured players for this game are Matteo Gabbia, Ismael Bennacer and Alessandro Florenzi.
According to what is being reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) this morning, Paulo Fonseca will choose a defensive department of Emerson Royal, Malick Thiaw, Fikayo Tomori and Theo Hernandez ahead of Mike Maignan.
Youssouf Fofana and Tijjani Reijnders will rather unsurprisingly make up the midfield double pivot once again. The paper suggests that Yunus Musah will start as well but in a slightly different role: they have him playing on the right, adding protection to Emerson’s flank.
Christian Pulisic is pencilled in as the attacking midfielder behind the striker Alvaro Morata – who like Theo will face off against his former club – then Rafael Leao returns on the left wing.
Predicted Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Emerson, Thiaw, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Fofana, Reijnders; Musah, Pulisic, Leao; Morata.
Predicted Real Madrid XI (4-4-2): Lunin; Vazquez, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy; Bellingham, Modric, Valverde, Camavinga; Mbappe, Vinicius Jr.
Mind blown if this is true…
Relax, its GdS. They throw sh*t at the wall to see what sticks as a means of delivering news.
AC internazionale, shameful
How many Spanish players do you see in Real Madrid lineup?
Are they Internazionale CF?
“How many Spanish players do you see in Real Madrid lineup?”
1
An infinitely larger amount than we have LMAO 🤣🤣
That’s not true. We have 1 spanish player in our line up too.
Internazionale were founded as a team to include as many foreigners as possible, unlike Ac Milan who wanted to have a base of Italians. This is history, and this why the real madrid internazionale response Is not relevant.
Lord have mercy
At least this plan has RLC back on the bench.
I don’t think it is a terrible idea.
Back to the plan from a couple of seasons ago where the right side was conservative (Calabria + Saelemaekers/Messias) and the left side was all attack (Theo + Leao)
MaBe the can Play
3 4 3
An What schould be Bad about IT?
‘AC Milan are hoping to pull off a shock in the Champions League tonight at the home of the current holders Real Madrid’
The only shock will be if we limit it to a single goal defeat… but here’s hoping we can defy the odds…
This is the kind of game we win then struggle like heck against Cagliari!!
Given the personnel this looks more 433. Wonder if GdS got the formation wrong? Esp given Morata doesn’t suit as a lone striker.
Mike
ER – Thiaw – Tomorrow – Theo
Musah – Fof – Reinjders
Puli – Morata – Leao
This will make it harder on Voni and Mbappe to get to goal if we stay compact
Think if it was a 433 ruben would be playing. He is the better mezzala between him and musah and has loads more exp.
Then again gds is almost always wrong in their predictions
Loads more exp at games of this lvl*
4-3-3 is not Good at all
Bodoh betul line-up ni.From Malaysia…😅😂😂
For those who don’t see it this is a 343 formation with Theo and Musah playing as wingbacks. I hope this works because I personally prefer to see Theo as a wingback and not a left back.
If it was a 343 pavlovic would be starting not royal.
