Speaking to DAZN (via MilanNews), Pioli said the following: “I have the usual sensations before a match. We tried to prepare ourselves as best we could for a difficult match.

“Krunic? I didn’t pick him just to give physicality in the attack, but also to take advantage of his insertions. It will also help us to fill the area better. Bennacer? Everyone who has been called up is fine. They all have great motivations.”
