What They're Saying
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti (via Inside Spanish Football): "It is a warm-up game. Both teams will be treating as such, but it will also be a great spectacle of football. The two teams with the most amount of European Cup titles face each other. It is good to be part of this event. It is going to be a very special match for me. I have a lot of history with Milan and I also have a great relationship with the Milan manager [Filippo Inzaghi], who was one of my players. It will be a special day for me. It is an honor to play against them because I have very fond memories of the club."
AC Milan defender Alex (via Football Italia): "It's going to be difficult for us to play them, but we can have a good game. We just have to play the way we did in the last few games."
