Milan must erase the defeat suffered in their European debut against Liverpool and for the second day of the Champions League championship phase they will be guests of Bayer Leverkusen. Another important test for the Rossoneri who after the match lost against the Reds they changed the game system to a small extent, relying on the double center forward, winning the championship matches against Inter and Lecce. A sort of litmus test for Paulo Fonseca. Furthermore, the Rossoneri need the three points to shake up their ranking and avoid early elimination from the tournament.
Kick-off for Bayer Leverkusen-Milan is scheduled for 9pm and these are the official line-ups chosen by Paulo Fonseca and Xabi Alonso.
Bayer Leverkusen (3-4-2-1): Hradecky; Hincapié, Tah, Tapsoba; Grimaldo, Adli, Xhaka, Frimpong; Wirtz, Garcia; Boniface. Trainer: Xabi Alonso.
Milan (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Emerson Royal, Gabbia, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Fofana, Reijnders; Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Leao; Abraham. Trainer: Fonseca.
