Following the results of the last season, Milan got the right to play in the Champions League, which the fans of the team have been waiting for a long time. In the first round of the elite club tournament, the red-blacks were defeated, losing to Liverpool (2:3). Such a start had a bad effect on the team, which eventually lost all three matches, losing in turn to Atletico (1:2) and today’s opponent, which brought the last place in the standings. It should be noted that the Italian team conceded on average twice per match. In the Serie A championship, Stefano Pioli’s wards do not know defeats after 11 rounds, having ten wins and a draw, which brought 31 points and second place in the standings. In the last two rounds, the Rossoneri took turns defeating Torino (1:0) and Roma (2:1). It is impossible not to note the second indicator in the league in terms of the quality of attack, which differed 25 times. Today Rebic, Florenzi, Pizzari, Messias, Magnan and Castillejo will not be able to enter the field.
Lille ended up in the group of the Champions League in the status of the champion of France, which automatically included the “dogs” in the number of contenders for victory in the quartet. However, the team of Josselin Gurvennek failed to start the season in all respects, including in the Champions League. After three rounds, it ranks third in the group. At the same time, Lille is only one point away from the second Sevilt and in case of a victory over it, it may end up in the playoff zone, but this alignment does not look real.
