AC Milan have not reached the Champions League final for almost 20 years, and a report today has suggested they could do it this year.
As things stand, Milan are on track to reach the final 16 of the Champions League via qualification from the top eight of the group stage. Because of this, people have started dreaming about the possibilities that this season could bring.

The Rossoneri’s season has been ironic in some ways. Whilst they have struggled in Serie A, they have excelled in Europe and the Supercoppa Italiana, as Gazzetta dello Sport (via Milan Press) writes, and this leads to questions.
Throughout the history of the Champions League, the Diavolo are recognisable as one of the very best and hold a certain pedigree as a result of this. After all, it is deeply ingrained into the club’s DNA for success in Europe.
Sergio Conceicao has a chance to prove this. After the events in Saudi Arabia and the win in the Champions League against Girona, he has proven that his side is difficult to beat. However, the same feeling is currently not present domestically.
Rafael Leao has taken on a new role and has matured quickly, and whilst the squad will not get carried away, there is already a dream of completing something substantial in Europe. After all, ‘destiny’ is in their own hands, and Milan are ‘back for real’, as the report claims.
Maybe if we get Gimenez and Ricci.
that still wont make us win ucl but get close if we win against zagreb which we should that would mean we would be between 6th to 3rd place and r16 is 100 % but this season is impossible to win ucl unless we get lucky polls
You say its impossible but then states unless we get lucky polls, dont that mean its not impossible?
it’s probaly impossible in the r16 and if we’re lucky in quarter final we might get easier teams but in semi and final and even quarter maybe we can get a good team
no law against dreaming
Not with tomori at the back and Abraham up top…
Abraham will be on the bench watching Morata play. Happy? 😀
nothing is impossible but if we get a top quality in the squad.
Anything is possible until it isn’t possible any longer but it will take some sort of extreme super optimist to actually believe that we will reach the final let alone win it.
Letter not get ahead of ourselves and count the chicken’s before they hatch. Let’s get through Zagreb first and make sure that’s not a fiasco.
Well a lot depends on who we’d meet in the last eight.. It’s amazing how teams can sneak through a competition playing weak sides *cough* England *cough*
