Nyon’s ballot box delivers Group H to Milan for the 2020/2021 Europa League: here is the typical formation, star and trajectory of the Rossoneri opponents. Milan started from the third band and found a difficult but historic draw, with no away games too far. From the first band come the Scots from the Celtic, from the second the Czechs from Sparta Prague and from the room the French from Lille. Milan have already faced Celtic and Lille in the same edition of a European competition: It was the 2006/07 Champions League that ended with the Rossoneri triumphing in Athens.
GLASGOW CELTA
THE TYPICAL TRAINING (4-2-3-1): Barkas; Ajer, Duffy, Bitton; Frimpong, Christie, Brown, McGregor, Taylor; Edouard, Elyounoussi
THE STAR: Odsonne Edouard, the 22-year-old French striker for PSG who exploded in Scotland. Of Guyanese origin, he plays for the French under-21 team, after having appeared in the 205/2016 Youth League with the Parisians. Despite his young age, he already has three championships, two cups, a top scorer title and a European Under 17 with the transalpinos in his record.
THE WAY: First in the 2019/2020 Scottish championship, he was eliminated during the Champions League preliminaries by the Hungarians from Ferencvaros.
PREVIOUS: Against the Scots, Milan have played ten times in Europe with five victories since the 1968-69 Champions League quarter-finals. After the 0-0 in Milan, the Rossoneri won 1-0 in Scotland with a goal from Pierino Prati. Celtic-Milan also remember the challenge of 2007, the release of Dida on a stretcher after a blow suffered by a fan who had invaded the field.
SPARTA PRAGUE
THE TYPICAL TRAINING (4-3-1-2): He can; Sacek, Plechaty, Celutska, Hanousek; Moberg Karlsson, Krejci, Travnik; Dockal; Hlozek, Kozak.
THE STAR: two former Italians, former Lazio Libor Kozak, forward and power, and former Bologna Ladislav Krejci, flexible and fast midfielder who can act either as a winger or as a midfielder.
THE WAY: third in the Czech championship, behind Slavia Prague and Slovan Liberec.
PREVIOUS: The first match was in the second leg of the 1973 Cup Winners’ Cup semi-final. Nereo Rocco’s Milan, after winning 1-0 at home, beat the Czechs thanks to a goal from Luciano Chiarugi. 0-0 in the first knockout round of the UEFA Cup in 1995: At San Siro the Rossoneri won 2-0 and passed. In the 2003/2004 round of 16, the Rossoneri drew 0-0 away, but even made four at home, before leaving with Depor.
LITTLE
THE TYPICAL FORMATION (4-4-2): Maignan; Celik, Fonte, Botman, Bradaric; Araujo, André, Renato Sanches, Bamba; Ylmaz, David
THE STAR: young Canadian Jonathan David, born in 2000, also wanted by Milan and Inter in the summer but left for France from Belgium to replace Osimhen. Also keep an eye out for the old Turkish fox Burak Ylmaz, the Portuguese promise that never blossomed Renato Sanches, and the outsiders Bamba and Yazici.
THE WAY: fourth in the French league behind PSG, Marseille and Rennes.
PREVIOUS: Two precedents between the Rossoneri and Lille, in the 2006-07 Champions League group stage: 0-0 in France, 0-2 at San Siro. Elliott, owner of AC Milan, also owns Lille.
