“You know what the problem is? Ancelotti also has unfinished business in Istanbul. Immediately after the draw, he called me: "Paolo, see you in Istanbul, right?"

Of course, it will not be easy for Milan. However, I think history has shown how to believe in success. This has already happened. In March, April, you have a chance to make the season special. Without the dream, we wouldn't have won the Champions League so many times. Even in the current squad of "Milan" there are enough players who dream about it. I, too, was a dreamer when I played," said Paolo Maldini during an online meeting with representatives of the Ukrainian fan club "Rossoneri Ukraine".

We will remind that in the 1/4 finals of the Champions League, "Milan" will meet with "Napoli", and "Real" will play with "Chelsea".
