Milan is looking for a third victory in a row, the first in the 2024/2025 Champions League where they will be busy today for the second day. In fact, this evening the Rossoneri will be guests of Bayer Leverkusen, the reigning German champions who have started their European adventure in the best possible way. In fact, Aspirine beat Feyenoord 0-4 at De Kuip, collecting their first full haul of this year in Europe. A different result compared to that of Milan, who will want to erase the 1-3 they suffered on their debut at San Siro against Liverpool. In the Bundesliga, however, an excellent draw came this weekend for Bayer, who snatched a point from Bayern Munich after a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena.
HOW BAYER ARRIVES LEVERKUSEN – Xabi Alonso should still opt for 3-4-2-1. In port Hradecky, defense made up of Hincapié, Tah and Tapsoba. Andrich and Xkhaka in midfield, with Grimaldo and Frimpong in the lanes. Instead, Wirtz and Terrier should start in the attacking midfield, supporting the lone striker Boniface.
HOW MILAN ARRIVED – Fonseca confirms the 4-2-3-1 again. In goal Maignan, Pavlovic takes Tomori’s place alongside Gabbia while Calabria and Theo Hernandez will man the flanks. Fofana and Reijnders are in the control room, with Loftus-Cheek as attacking midfielder and Pulisic and Leao as wingers. Finally, Tammy Abraham will be up front while Morata should start from the bench.
