AC Milan discovered their opponents for the play-off round of the Champions League in today’s draw, and they will face Feyenoord.
Milan’s worst nightmare came true on Wednesday night as they lost 2-1 against Dinamo Zagreb to surrender their top eight place in the table, which would have secured direct access to the last 16.
As a result of the defeat, the Rossoneri dropped from sixth in the table before a ball was kicked to 13th, knowing that they now have a couple of tricky play-off legs next month.
Speaking of which, the bracket and seeding system means that Milan already knew their two potential opponents for the next phase based on the league finish: Feyenoord or Juventus.
Then, if Sergio Conceicao’s were to get through to the last 16 stage, they would play either Arsenal or Inter. In short, they have made lives very difficult for themselves.
During the draw which took place this afternoon, it was confirmed that Feyenoord await in the play-offs. What makes the tie even more tasty is the fact that Milan look set to sign their star striker Santiago Gimenez, before the window closes.
A reminder of the dates from here:
➤ Knockout phase play-offs: 11/12 & 18/19 February 2025
➤ Round of 16: 4/5 & 11/12 March 2025

my name finally comes in handy
Going to be fun seeing Santiago Gimenez scoring vs Milan 😉
Going to be fun seeing you cry when Milan win
That Gimenez transfer is dead now.
Yes, probably 😩
Milan has a chance to go to the next round
It literally still being talked about and is a close transfer, what are you on about
This is…. omg
I want to ask a question are we still playing juventus if we play pass feynoord or we go to round 16 immediately or is the tier home and away
It’s home and away match.
So immediately round 16 after this
I think it will certainly be vs Inter. If we win we will be the highest seed of the 4 teams (Juve, PSV and Fey).
I think it was Arsenal or Inter after this
if milan win, i say if, who will be their opponent in round 16?
Either Inter or Arsenal.
round of 16 will be the derby, then quarterfinal will be bayern, leverkusen or athleti. OR we lose to feyenoord which i definetly think will happen.
I swear God is a Milanista!! Lmao!
