What UCL means for Milan’s schedule – tough period with Juve and Chelsea

By Isak Möller -

Earlier today, UEFA announced the schedule for the group stage and AC Milan will begin their adventure away at Salzburg. Back-to-back fixtures against Chelsea also await, which should make things interesting. 

You can read the full details about the schedule here, but one thing that stood out is that Milan will face Chelsea in the middle of the group stage. And not just that, the Rossoneri will face Juventus in between.

The first clash against Chelsea will be played at Stamford Bridge on October 5th. On the 8th or 9th, most likely the former, Milan will face Juventus at San Siro in the league. Then on the 11th, the home clash against Chelsea awaits.

It will be a tough period for the Rossoneri, in other words, but the hope is that they will start the UCL campaign off strong against Salzburg and Dinamo. That way, they will enter the games against Chelsea with confidence and in a good position.
