AC MILAN VS BORUSSIA DORTMUND
After their semi-final defeat to rivals Inter last season, Milan will be hoping to once again go far in the competition, but first need to get out of the group of death. After four games, they currently sit third with five points following draws against Newcastle and Milan and a win apiece from their two fixtures against PSG. A win here would see them leapfrog Dortmund in the table and put qualification in their own hands, whilst also making Edin Terzic (41 years 29 day) the youngest manager to beat Milan at the San Siro in the Champions League since Pep Guardiola (40 years 309 days) in November 2011.
Dortmund, meanwhile, currently sit top of Group F after back-to-back wins (and clean sheets) over Newcastle moved them onto seven points. This came following their opening week defeat to PSG and the 0-0 draw against Milan in the reverse fixture. The German side are currently on a three-game run without conceding in the competition and another clean sheet here would see them record four consecutive clean sheets in the Champions League for the first time since 2014, under Jürgen Klopp.
