Despite trailing 2-0 after the 1st leg, AC Milan’s head-coach Stefano Pioli firmly believes his team can turn the tie around and qualify for the Champions League final.<\/p>\n
The match will be held on Tuesday night at San Siro with Inter being the formal host.<\/p>\n
“We know we are starting with a disadvantage, but we also have the quality to overturn it,” Pioli said in the buildup to the match.<\/p>\n
“Now, more than ever, nobody thinks Milan can reach the final.<\/p>\n
“We can play a great game and I know how strong my players are. We’ve made some mistakes, but the past is irrelevant.<\/p>\n
“We have an important goal in mind – to win and qualify for the final, which nobody would have predicted, just as at the beginning of the year no-one would have predicted our presence in the semi-finals.”<\/p>\n
No team in Champions League history has managed to overcome a 2-0 home deficit in a semi-final game. If Milan were to achieve that, they will book a place in the final for the first time since 2007.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
