The Devil seeks first European points

Today (18:45), AC Milan hosts Club Brugge for the third day of the new Champions League. The Diavolo, after two days, è pinned at zero points in the standings. Winning against the Belgian team è vital to shake off and try to recover some positions. Fonseca knows there's no other possible outcome but the three points.

The Rossoneri coach has decided to "reinstate" both Theo Hernandez and Leao. Both, as confirmed by Fonseca himself, will start from the first minute. The Frenchman, after the 90' on the bench against Udinese, must show that he has understood the lesson and è called to an important performance, worthy of his level.

Important race also for Leao. Disqualified against Udinese (but, probably, he would have seen the game on the bench alongside Theo Hernandez), the Portuguese has started the season in a hurry. Only one goal in nine appearances, no strike in the Champions League. Clearly, much is expected of Leao against Club Brugge.

The feeling è that the Rossoneri public is increasingly on Fonseca’s side regarding the management of the two star players. The fans at San Siro will be watching both Theo Hernandez and Leao very carefully. Everyone expects a great game from both of them. "What I expect from Leao and Hernandez è what I expect from everyone. They have to do their best to make Milan win", said Fonseca on the eve of the match and è exactly the thought of every Diavolo fan.
