The first leg ended 1-0 in Rotterdam last week, decided by Mike Maignan’s howler letting the Igor Paixao snapshot squirm through him into the near bottom corner.
As the away goals rule was scrapped several years ago, it means the Rossoneri must win by one clear goal to force extra time, or more than one clear goal to win the tie outright.
Speaking yesterday, Milan director Zlatan Ibrahimovic said that people need to be less critical of Rafael Leao, so how does the Portugal international feel about that?
“Ibra has always been like this, when things go well he tells me, when they do not go as well, he tells me too,” Leao told Sky Sport Italia.
“He is a very important person for me and I think all the others too, he helped me at Milan, he was a player and understands what things are like on the field.
“There are a lot of people who haven’t played and still like to talk about it as if they did. The most important thing is those people who know how to help, the coach and the squad.”
Ibrahimovic stepped in for Sergio Conceicao in yesterday’s press conference so that the coach could return home to Portugal, where he could attend the funeral of former Porto President Jorge Pinto da Costa.
