AC Milan will welcome Newcastle at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza as the first match of the UEFA Champions League. The match will be an emotional one for Tonali, who was sold to Newcastle this season.
In the Serie A match Milan was beaten by Inter Milan with a score of 5 - 1 and in the first match of the group phase UCL AC Milan had the opportunity to win in a home match and this could be proof that for UCL AC Milan can also play well and try hard qualify for the top 16.
Tonali is a young player with a midfielder position and he is also a former AC Milan player so there will be some awkwardness for Tonali because he has to play against the former team he played for for almost 3 seasons.
Newcastle will have their first match after a long time without experiencing the fierceness of Champions League competition.
This season, Newcastle started the Premier League with a poor performance. Newcastle's performance is not like AC Milan in Serie A, which only suffered one defeat. Due to the results obtained by Milan, Newcastle United will have to work extra hard to avoid defeat in the opening match.
Newcastle must really prepare for their first match in the UCL because they have not played in the most prestigious league for a very long time and must be able to adjust to the performance conditions of the players because this season is different from last season.
If Newcastle lose in the first match it will be clear that there is no chance for them to survive or progress to the round of 16.
But based on who Newcastle will be against there is little doubt that Newcastle don't can win their first match.
In another match tomorrow, Young Boys' match with RB Leipzig.
In group G there is a monster there who last season took full control of the treble winners and it is certain that in group G Manchester City will win the group and easily qualify for the next round.
In the Leipzig match against Young Boys I wasn't too interested but it seemed like Leipzig were the favorites who had the advantage in that match.
