What They're Saying
AC Milan manager Pippo Inzaghi (via Football Italia): "It's going to be complicated tomorrow. Fiorentina are one of the best teams in Serie A and play great football. This is why they tend to do so well in Europe. When they have a full squad at their disposal, the Viola can compete at the same level as Juventus and Roma. We've studied everything and hope to be well prepared. We know Fiorentina's strengths are pace and possession with a top quality midfield."
"However," he added. " Tomorrow, I want us to get back to winning at San Siro and we need our fans for a passionate atmosphere."
