AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has made three changes to the starting line-up for the game against Borussia Dortmund tonight compared to the team that beat Fiorentina on Saturday.
Having beaten La Viola 1-0 at the weekend to end a four-game winless run in Serie A, Milan must once again up their performance levels tonight against Dortmund in what is almost a must-win game if they are to make the Champions League knockout stages.
The starting eleven is has been chosen and it begins from the same foundations with Mike Maignan in goal protected by a back four of Davide Calabria, Malick Thiaw, Fikayo Tomori and Theo Hernandez.
The midfield will be composed of Tijjani Reijnders, Loftus-Cheek and Yacine Adli with the latter preferred to Rade Krunic. It is possible, just like against PSG, that the Englishman will be used in a more advanced position.
The attacking trident will feature Samuel Chukwueze on the right wing once again, Christian Pulisic on the left side against his former club and Olivier Giroud – whose suspension only applies in the league – up front.
Official Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Thiaw, Tomori, Hernandez; Adli, Reijnders; Chukwueze, Loftus-Cheek, Pulisic; Giroud.
Bench: Mirante, Nava, Florenzi, Bartesaghi, Krunic, Pobega, Chaka Traore, Jovic.
Official Dortmund XI (4-2-3-1): Kobel; Ryerson, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini; Can, Sabitzer; Malen, Reus, Gyttens; Fullkrug.
Bench: Meyer, Lotka, Ozcan, Reyna, Haller, Wolf, Moukoko, Brandt, Adeyemi, Blank.
Guys, please, don’t lose to those arrogant dortmunt players. They have been talking shite a lot. Saying that they can easily beat us
Our bench looks scary. Hopefully we can get a goal early so we don’t have any expectations from subs.
The midfield looks good on paper , balanced; a trio of players with different qualities.
But what’s up with Pioli not fielding his boy Krunic lately?
Rumor is they had a big argument whether to have the wedding in Italy or Turkey.
Nah, you didn’t just say that, LMAOOO.
Lol
Wow. Dortmund bench looks scary compared to ours.
Will we step up again like v PSG?
I want to be hopeful but our squad is decimated
I expect a very intense match but hopefully we will be able to get a win and my guess would be a 2-1 win for us tonight.
Reijnders rocking to the champions league hymn 🙂
Maybe chaka traore will have his day
I don’t know we have such fans like you lol
You know there is a difference between FIFA and real football, right?
Milan ain’t qualifying for round of sixteen so that the stupid cardinale can see d reasons to sack that idiot pioli and his lovers
Didn’t expect Giroud to miss a pen.
Now they have a pen.
F##k it
F*ck.
GUYS, DON’T WATCH THE GAME. DO NOT WATCH THE GAME. YOUR FAMILY NEEDS YOU. DON’T KILL YOUR NERVE AND BRAIN CELLS FOR THIS SH*T. F***K SAKE
Calabria needs some help there. He is having hard time against that dude.
That gittens kid is completely owning Calabria.
Movement off the ball is and has been horrible for a long time.
We scored
Chuck is having a good game, having fun there.
My god Chukwueze with a banger.
Chukwueze great goal
Thank you Chuk.
They are cutting through us like a knife through butter
Well done Chucky!!
He has been bright tonight, more dangerous than Pulisic
Ah, sjf gave a good comment on Chucky boy
Its good to see.
Obsolutly. Always a threat tonight. Puli should have been replaced not chuck. Another pioli logic.
Adli has been horrible
What the hell calabria. How did he miss that.
Pls guys, keep the updates alive cos I struggle streaming it here. The network’s abysmal
Thiaw out for 3 weeks….
Its an exciting game but let’s be honest we have made lots of errors dortmund have made more
Thiaw my god.
Thats a huge problem
Horrible marking
We are fuck*d now.
No bench no centre back.
That could be the end of our season right there
Cursed….
I am turning off now. We are finishing last.
Fire Pioli, start a rebuild this winter.
Yeah, but we need to finish top 4. It’s not like they’re just giving that to us. We’re 5 points above 5th place. I also want Pioli gone, but right now, even with CL elimination, is not the right moment. If we drop too many points between here and January, than maybe yes, but it’s a delicate moment.
We are not getting top 4 with this buffoon.
More is lost with inaction then action, get rid of him and a lot of these poor signings and start signing quality players. I know what I’m asking is nigh impossible with these cheap idiotic moneyball owners but it’s the only way to get back to winning trophies.
1-3. Good bye campions leauge. Good bye baldy. We’ll be back stronger next year.
Unless pioli is sacked Ac Milan will never go forward with pioli sacked krunic will be gone krunic is d badluck in Milan we lose every game he plays
Giroud has had a stinker along with Maignan
Giroud wasn’t in the game.. should have be taking off.. Milan need to sack this stupid coach for real
Guys, if something happens to me, you know who is responsible for it.
Hasta La Vista
