"Milan" team presented the lineup of players for the Champions League group stage. "Serie A" team head coach Stefano Pioli warned that the club was forced to make a painful decision because only 17 foreigners can be registered for the tournament. This means that the Italian champions had to leave players such as Aster Vranchx, Malik Thiaw, Yacine Adli, injured Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ciprian Tatarusanu, or Tiemoue Bakayoko on the sidelines. Defender Alessandro Florenzi, despite a serious injury suffered last week, was included in the lineup. "Milan" lineup: Maignan, Mirante, Dest, Kalulu, Tomori, Kjaer, Ballo-Toure, Theo Hernandez, Florenzi, Calabria, Gabbia, Bennacer, Krunic, Tonali, Pobega, Saelemaekers, Messias, Brahim Diaz, De Ketelaere, Leao, Giroud, Origi, Rebic."
