Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani has insisted their Champions League last 16 tie with Manchester United is far from over despite having to overturn a 3-2 deficit at Old Trafford tomorrow night.
“We’ll see what happens in Manchester…” he smiled at Malpensa airport this morning.
“These kinds of games are the great classics for a football fan. We played well at Roma and turned in an important performance.
“We controlled the game for large spells without getting intimidated by the sell-out crowd.
“This means we have not lost our big-team characteristics. We are happy to play games like this one in Manchester.”
Milan have re-opened the Serie A title race in recent weeks, but Galliani reiterated the Champions League remains the club’s primary target.
“I’d pick the Champions League over the Scudetto any time,” he said.
“Every year more than 50 teams win domestic leagues, but only one side can win the Champions League,” he concluded.
