MN: Milan’s challenging February calendar as the Europa League arrives

AC Milan are set for a busy and challenging February at the end of the transfer window, with a new tournament to navigate.

The Rossoneri failed to get out of their Champions League group which contained Newcastle, Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund. Milan did manage to come third though, which means they go into the Europa League knockout round playoff.

They have been drawn to face French side Stade Rennais over two legs, and as Milan News highlights, those games form a challenging month for Milan.

Given they are now out of the Coppa Italia and could soon be eleven points behind Inter who are top of Serie A, the Europa League marks Milan’s best chance to win a trophy and they know it.

The month is going to begin with a tricky-looking Serie A clash away at Frosinone, which is followed up by a home game against Napoli. The champions are struggling a lot but still have very dangerous players.

The home leg against Stade Rennais then comes, and Milan will be away at Monza in Serie A before they then travel to France for the second leg of that tie.

Finally, there is a home game against Atalanta, who have beaten Milan twice this season already.
