A double confrontation that Milan obviously first with the status of favorite. Despite all its imperfections and irregularity, the Lombard club has been healthy since the arrival of the demand Sergio Conceiçao.
Collectively perfectible, Milan also remains and above all a team capable of avoiding traps thanks to the raw talent of its individualities.

Sometimes brilliant in its collective expression capable of signing resounding success against Bayern Munich (3-0), the Rotterdam club also had air holes, such as the slap received in Lille (1-6).
The expected compositions:
Feyenoord : Wellenreuther-Nieuwkoop, Beelen, Hancko, Hartman-Moder, Timber, Hwang-Hadj-Moussa, Ueda, Peaceao.
AC Milan : Maignan – Walker, Tomori, Pavlovic, Hernandez – Fofana, Reijnders – Pulisic, Felix, Leao – Gimenez.
