The San Siro hosts AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund this Tuesday in the penultimate week of the Champions League Group stage. Group F is still wide open but a win this week could put Dortmund in control of their qualification.

A brace from Olivier Giroud gave Milan the 2 - 0 lead going into halftime, but goals from Matteo Politano and Giacomo Raspadori meant it was level going into the closing stages. Milan were unable to find their way through even with Natan’s late red card for Napoli. The one loss came against the run of play against Udinese. Roberto Pereyra’s penalty was the only goal of the game in the 1 - 0 win for Udinese with only 27% of the possession.
Last time out in the Champions League for Milan was against PSG. Milan Skriniar opened the scoring for PSG in the ninth minute, but a goal from Rafael Leao and another goal from Giroud gave Milan the 2 - 1 comeback win. However, back in the Serie A, it was another draw for Milan. Giroud was on the scoresheet again, this time along with Tijjani Reijnders. However, Nicola Sansone and Lameck Banda both scored to level the game and this time it was Milan who went a man down as Giroud was sent off in the 93rd minute.
