Salzburg gears up for the “Miracle of Milan”

Salzburg gears up for the “Miracle of Milan”

Italy’s football champions AC Milan have the pressure, Austria’s double winner FC Salzburg before the game of the year today (9 p.m., ServusTV, Sky) in Milan the personnel shortage in cans. The “Red Bulls” need a win in the group finals of the Champions League to reach the round of 16 like they did last season. That’s the goal, even if the list of “patients” with Capaldo, Fernando, Adamu, Solet, Koita, Omoregie, Okoh and Tijani seems sprawling.

“Not many had believed that it would even come to that. That is not to be taken for granted. Regardless of the starting position, we want to play boldly forward,” said Salzburg coach Matthias Jaissle before the duel with that traditional club, which has no fewer than seven times in the “premier class” (most recently in 2006/07). Nevertheless, the “Rossoneri”, who on Monday extended the contract with coach Stefano Pioli until 2025, are not invulnerable. Milan are third in Serie A, six points behind leaders Napoli, having suffered their second defeat of the season with a 2-1 loss at FC Torino on Sunday.

The quality of the squad is undisputed, its market value is 550.55 million euros, 70 million of which is attributable to the Portuguese left winger Rafael Leao, who hit the post in the 1-1 draw in Wals-Siezenheim in the 94th minute. Today Salzburg needs the luck of the fittest – without neglecting to look “down” in the table.

It’s generally about wintering in international business. Third place entitles them to move to the Europa League, which is still a mathematical issue for Dinamo Zagreb. The Croatians are two points behind Salzburg and have at least as tough a nut to crack away with Chelsea. The worst-case scenario is as follows: Salzburg lose in Milan, Zagreb win in London. Then the European Cup from the Mozart city would be sealed and another rain of millions (up to almost ten million without ticket sales) illusion.

Whatever the case: The red-white-red figurehead, who was last against Hartberg (1-0) in a minimalist way, does not lack self-confidence, the same applies to emotional support. Around 4000 Salzburg fans start the trip to Italy in five planes, 20 buses and numerous private cars. “We are enthusiastic about this support,” emphasized club managing director Stephan Reiter. 1A should also be the referee’s performance.
