AC Milan fell in one of the most important matches at the start of the season. Pioli's team arrived with 3 victories in the first 3 games and faced Inter Milan in a new Derby della Madoninna. However, things could not have gone worse for AC Milan, who lost 5-1 to their bitter rival. After this match, the Rossoneri team begins to plan its debut in the UEFA Champions League.

 

AC Milan debuts on Tuesday at the San Siro on matchday 1 of the UEFA Champions group stage. AC Milan faces a difficult Newcastle and they want to start winning at any cost. Stefano Pioli's team placed in a great way in the last edition, where they reached the semifinals. However, they were eliminated precisely at the hands of Inter Milan. The Rosoneri team must now emerge alive from a very complex group, which also includes PSG and Borussia Dortmund.

In the last duel, it was already a surprising victory in the Italian classic, and Inter went for more. Hakan Çalhanoğlu scored from a penalty in the 79th minute and finally Davide Frattesi sealed the final 5-1 in stoppage time. This defeat is like a splash of cold water for Stefano Pioli's team. Even though the season has just begun, the duel can be decisive for what is to come. Inter came first with 12 points, while second is Juventus, with 10, and third is Milan, with 9. Now, Pioli does not want any type of failure in the Champions League and would make a decision with some players.

 

What will Pioli do with Christian Pulisic?

According to the journalist, Gianluca Di Marzio, Pioli is with his staff at Milanello to study Newcastle. The coach is thinking of two or three changes with Tomori returning in place of Kjaer. Chukwueze in place of Pulisic and maybe a change in midfield. The ownership of the American player is not guaranteed and the AC Milan coach could opt for the Nigerian as a starter for this match against a complex rival like Newcastle United.
