🚨 Confirmed XIs: Milan and Benfica in a UEL clash of giants

San Siro Stadium will be dressed to impress this Wednesday, September 16 (16:00), as it hosts a continental football classic on Matchday 1 of the UEFA Europa League between AC Milan and Benfica. After finishing fifth in Serie A, the rossoneri are looking to make a statement backed by their four-match unbeaten league run. Diego Moreira , the hero in the recent draw against Lazio , is expected to be in the starting XI.

Benfica, meanwhile, arrive in sensational form, having strung together seven straight wins in all competitions and scored 10 goals in their last three league matches. The Eagles' main threat will be young Argentine attacking midfielder Gianluca Prestianni , who has found the net in three straight games. A heavyweight showdown to open the European campaign.
