Two former European champions clash in the second round of the Europa League. There are also two old friends. For the sixth time, the Red Devils and the Rossoneri face each other in a knockout round of an international competition. While the Italians always prevailed in the first four cases, at least the last duel in the Champions League round of 16 2009/10 went to the English.
-Manchester United played a good, but also inconspicuous 2019/20 season. In the Premier League, the Red Devils landed in a solid third place, which qualified them for their 23rd participation in the Champions League. In the meantime, the semifinals of the two English cup competitions were the final destination.
-It was exactly this round that the English reached in the Europa League, where they were eliminated in the final tournament in Germany. Thus, they missed three potential finals and remained untitled. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was still allowed to continue.
-After several difficult years, AC Milan is well on the way to picking up on the once so glorious times. At the national level, Stefano Pioli’s team is finally playing again for the Scudetto, which was won in 2011 for the 18th and so far last time in the club’s history.
-However, after the Rossoneri only lost the Derby della Madonnina against city rivals Inter at home on February 21, 2021 with 0: 3, there is currently a gap of six points in first place. The Lombards must therefore hope that their arch-rival will slip up.
After all, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team goes into the game with a lot of tailwind. United just disenchanted city rivals and high-flyers Manchester City 2-0 away on the weekend. The Rossoneri, on the other hand, associate a lot with Old Trafford. In summer 2003 they won the Champions League final against Juventus Turin on penalties.
We suspect that both teams will tend to approach this first leg defensively and are primarily aiming for a good starting position for the second leg next week.
