The situation is very clear for Milan: win against Cagliari tonight and you will secure Champions League football for next season. A draw could also be enough in the end, but it’s clear that the Rossoneri must play to win to avoid losing out.
Just a few minutes ago, Pavlovic was interviewed by MilanTV (via MilanNews) and he definitely stressed the importance of going out there to win. Today is also a special game for him as it’s his birthday, turning 25 years old.
Happy birthday! We think we know what gift you’d like…
“Thank you. We want to win tonight, and that would be the best gift for me.”
How important is the approach?
“We are prepared. Tonight is very important, and we know we have to win if we want to play in the Champions League. We have to be focused and do everything we can to win.”
Would another goal be the icing on the cake?
“Let’s hope so.. (laughs)”
Pavlovic is starting alongside Matteo Gabbia and Fikayo Tomori in defence, so this is an opportunity for the usual defensive starters to end the season on a good note. Out of the three, you would also have to say that the Serbian has been the best this campaign.
