While he is part of the management of OM, Jean-Pierre Papin would like to see Milan go for the Europa League.
AC Milan is the second most successful club in Europe behind Real Madrid. The Lombards have won everything on the continental scene, with the exception of a trophy. That of the Europa League.
After taking out Rennes, Stefano Pioli’s men are now in the round of 16 of the event. They will face the Czechs from Slavia Prague next month. And to get to the end, they benefit from the support of their former striker Jean-Pierre Papin.
For Papin, Milan deserves the trophy
While he is part of the executive board of OM, a club also involved in this C3, JPP encourages the Rossonerri to seek this Cup. This is what he declared to the transalpine media on Friday: “I saw a demotivated Milan (during the defeat against Rennes), when you win 3-0 it’s always difficult to approach the return match. But this year, Milan is a team that deserves to go for something.”
It’s not the 1e time that Papin made a communication error by speaking in the transalpine press. In 1995, he had already made a mistake by implying that OM and Bernard Tapie had bought the victorious Champions League final against AC Milan.
