The Champions League is with us again. The best factory in Europe returns this time, as Milan host Tottenham for an intriguing battle at the San Siro in Milan, as part of the first of two matches in the round of 16 of the Champions League.
The host does come after a victory in the last round in Serie A with 0:1 over Torino, but before that they recorded seven games without a win, some of them in unpleasant defeats. To the Rossoneri’s credit is the fact that they have won the most European championships, after Real Madrid, with seven.
On the other hand, the Roosters hope to go as far as they did in the 2019/20 season, when they reached the grand final of the factory after that famous comeback against Ajax, only to lose to Liverpool. The English did beat Manchester City, but since then they stopped suffering an unpleasant defeat with 4:1 to Leicester, and now they will try to transfer the decision to their home.
The last time the two clubs met was also in the round of 16 in the Champions League, only in the 2010/11 season. At that time, the Italians were eliminated following a 1:0 loss in the first match and a 0:0 in the second leg. Peter Crouch scored the lone goal in both games.
