We all know that AC Milan will definitely have to accept that faith that their game with Real Madrid will not be as usual, because, Real Madrid will have to release all the anger of their last game against Barcelona on them. Moreover, the game will be on the Cavour of Real Madrid knowing that AC Milan are not in a good form and there are facing the champions in a home game. So I see less chances for them to find it easy on the game, it will be a tough game for them and they will have to accept the defeat like that.
Seriously I don’t rate this current Milan team that much, seems to have most of the star players that they can use to threaten any team but seriously they haven’t used any of them, they are falling as contenders in the league and in the champions league they have not been there best but definitely due to the teams they face, they have faced Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen lost both games also faced club Brugge which is the only match they have won. Now facing a Madrid that has been in the media for so many reasons and without even league football this weekend, which means enough rest,
Not to mention that Real Madrid themselves have lost to Lille before and a loss here will not only Put pressure of the media on them but also place them on the verge of missing out of the spot for the direction round of 16. Same goes to Ac Milan should they lose this game then it will be a huge loss for them as they will have to win all of their remaining matches to get into the top 8 for automatic qualification to the round of 16.
Real Madrid will find it easier to bounce back in the near future, but AC Milan, they need a lot of luck to qualify for the last 16.
Actually, the competition to finish in the top 8 of the standings will be very competitive, because all contestants will try to avoid the play-off route which requires them to play 2 additional matches. Apart from the previous match, Los Blancos are still more reliable than AC Milan, in my opinion it is unlikely that the Serie A representatives will be able to make a surprise.
