It really is a good time to face them. I’m hoping so much we can come out on top over the two legs

This will probably be as tricky as they come, 0-0 or 1-1, tight, and so will the return leg be, with possible penalty shoot-out at the Emirates.

Major advantage that Lacazzette and Aubameyang aren't available and that the Inter-match was postponed so our guys could rest.
Arsenal have top class midfielders in Özil and Mikhtaryan, who will definetely make a difference. No reason for Milan to be cocky, we have screwed up so badly many times this season. Nothing should surprise anyone here, not even a 0-2 defeat would be shocking, taking into consideration the entire season.

They can't constantly play as bad as they have been lately, and we will start conceding goals sooner or later, lets hope for the latter. Arsenal is top class European opposition, probably at Napoli's level or so, and probably better then both Lazio and Roma...

FORZA MILAN!

But yea agreed completely. Arsenal are favourites. They are much stronger. We are in good form and we are uneate. In 14 games. Hopefully we can pull it off.

no way they are much stronger than us, watched several ars games this season, özil and mikhi form are absolutely low, xhaka is a fraud, kessie already handled SMS, he will eat them all alive
welbeck is matri level, no way he can score against bonucci-roma

Thats true. But i an still wary about them. Got to remember, they have nothing to lose now. We on the other hand can still make top 4.

I've been watching arsenal closely for too long, they're a troll team.

they'll have their february dip every single season, and then march on wards is where they'll go on this championship level run.

I'm just hoping milan don't fall victim for the "arsenal are so bad" trap, on their day they can beat 98% of teams out there.

Just respect them and result ll come. Saw their few games, half of their squad seems like it doesnt want to be there, i dont know whats happening. Wengi??? They have stronger names but we play more like a unit. We rested enough.

Also if we cant play and beat worst arsenal in like 20 years we shouldnt go to cl, period.

He said much stronger? They are not madrid compared to us. They are better but more like naboli roma level.

Anyway, besides your agreeable nature, I think most of you are wrong. Arsenal is mediocre and we should comfortably defeat them at the San Siro provided the fundamentals that Gattuso worked with stays the same. I dont see why they should change.

2 goal margin minimum and 3 goal margin preferably to take to the Emirates. We can easily fall behind there, so the San Siro leg should be all about scoring goals.

All we need to do is continue playing like we are playing.

I hope you are right, however I really doubt it. Whoever wastes least chances will progress, I see a close contest. Juve could've easily had 3/4-0 advantage over Tottenham, but instead they almost lost the match in the end, thanks to Higuain's waste of opportunities.

We must count on Cutrone to capitalise, Arsenal's defence is very vulnerable (no quick fixes there), and our defence is the strongest part of our team. As long as we avoid conceding any goals in San Siro I will be happy, even with 0-0. I am confident that we can score 1 away goal, and also not concede more then 1 in London next week.

Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin is set to miss the Gunners’ clash with AC Milan on Thursday night with a knee injury.

Milan-Arsenal ’95 and remembering Davide Astori

Mar 7, 5:10 PM

We kick off Golazzo by paying tribute to Fiorentina captain and Italy international Davide Astori, who died suddenly last weekend. For the rest of the show Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gabriele Marcotti turn the clock back to February 1995 and the second leg of the European Super Cup, with Arsenal taking on Milan at San Siro. It’s a time of turmoil with Serie A having been suspended due to the death of a fan, while for Arsenal, they were just a few weeks away from waving goodbye to a beleaguered, long-serving manager. Omens ahead of the teams’ Europa League encounter? You decide.

RUNNING ORDER:

• PART 1: Davide Astori (01m 00s)

• PART 2: Milan 2 - 0 Arsenal, San Siro, 8 Feb 1995 (06m 10s)

• PART 3: The Europa League meeting (23m 00s)

So much over confidence. I hate to be that guy....but it was Arsenal that ended our winning streak over English clubs....and that's when we had the mighty P!rlo.
