MN: Milan to be backed by over 1,500 fans in Newcastle

AC Milan will be backed by a large travelling support tonight as they face Newcastle United in the final game of their Champions League group stage campaign.

MilanNews report that as always happens before Champions League matches, at 13:00 local time a UEFA lunch will be held between the Newcastle United and Milan management (CEO Giorgio Furlani will be present for the Rossoneri) in view of this evening’s match.  However, Gerry Cardinale will not be there and he will not attend the game either.

There will be a lot of Milan fans at St. James’ Park for the game, with more than 1,500 Rossoneri supporters expected to climb the 14 flights of stairs to the very top of the stadium, where they will cheer on the team and hope for a miracle.

As a reminder: Milan must beat Newcastle to keep any hopes of European progress alive, and hope that Borussia Dortmund defeat PSG.
