In the last three championship matches, Milan have collected 9 points, scoring nine goals and conceding only one, the one in the derby by Dimarco, a match where the Rossoneri team managed to overturn the prediction that practically gave them a doom. Just as Paulo Fonseca’s position seemed doomed, but in just one week everything changed.
Bayer test
Now, however, confirmations are also needed at an international level, and from this point of view the Leverkusen trip could be an important test. Xabi Alonso’s team challenged Bayern Munich in the championship on Saturday in Bavaria: the result was 1-1 at the Allianz Arena, despite playing a difficult match and taking the lead through Andrich. The draw for the Bavarians was scored by Pavlovic. Now the Champions League: the Rossoneri come from a 1-3 defeat against Liverpool, the Germans come from a resounding 0-4 defeat against Feyenoord.
Milan’s probable lineup
Fonseca could propose the same eleven that beat Inter and Lecce: Maignan in goal, Royal, Gabbia, Tomori and Theo Hernandez in defence, Fofana in midfield with Reijnders and Morata in the attacking midfield, on the sides Leao and Pulisic behind Abraham. Calabria and Okafor have recovered and will go to the bench. Jovic is unavailable, as he is not included in the UEFA list.
