The Milan is ready to take the field at the “Santiago Bernabeu”. In fact, the Rossoneri face Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid tomorrow at 9pm in the match valid for the fourth day of the “Championship Phase” of the Champions League. Paulo Fonseca, Milan coach, presented the match in the press conference by immediately giving an indication of the formation: “Rafael Leao? We expect what we normally expect, which could be decisive. Did it bother me that everyone was talking about Leao? No, honestly no. I know what is important for me and for the team. It is normal for you to talk about these situations, but I have to follow my path.”
The latest training
As for the rest of the lineup, with Maignan in goal, in the Rossoneri 4-2-3-1 Emerson Royal, Thiaw, Tomori and Theo Hernandez will make up the defensive line. In midfield Fofana and Reijnders, in the midfield Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek and Leao, in attack Morata. The eleven are therefore defined, if not for the Loftus-Cheek-Chukwueze run-off. If the Englishman played, Pulisic would move to the right. As a last option, also the possible use of Musah (in this case, we would switch to 4-3-3 as in the second half in Monza).
