AC Milan, the Italian Champion, is at the starting line for the 2022-23 Champions League. This time, thanks to the success in Serie A last season, he will be able to do so by enjoying his position in the first pot in the group draw phase, despite the current European ranking would still say that Milan should be in the fourth pot. The result is that the group in which Milan was drawn is much less prohibitive than last year. A difference of battleships like Liverpool, Atletico Madrid and Porto, Milan have drawn Chelsea, Red Bull Salzburg and Dinamo Zagreb.
It will be played on 6 September, it will be the tenth time it has happened, only one precedent in the European cups, a 4-1 at home of the Red Boys Differdange (Luxembourg team) in the 1972-73 Cup Winners’ Cup, then six previous matches in the Italian Cup and two in Serie A. The last time they played on 6 September Milan won at home against Foggia 1-0 in 1992, with an own goal by Grandini. The other precedent in Serie A is the 1-0 victory against Atalanta in 1989, with a 30-meter torpedo under Carletto Ancelotti’s intersection.
It starts with the external challenge in Salzburg. It will be the eighth time that Milan will play in Austria, but on two occasions it was not against local teams: in Vienna, in fact, Milan played two Champions League / Champions League finals, in 1990 (1-0 at Benfica with goals from Frank Rijkaard) and in 1995 (0-1 against Ajax, with a goal from Patrick Kluivert). On the 5 occasions in which Milan have played in Austria against local teams, the Rossoneri have won 3 times, one draw and one defeat. Three opponents: Rapid Vienna, with whom Milan played two games in the Champions Cup (a 1-1 draw in 1956 with a goal from Nordahl, in the first edition, and 5-2 for the green-and-whites in 1957, a goal from Grillo and Bean for the Rossoneri, in the second edition) and one in the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1973, when Milan won 2-0 with a brace from Bigon. For the other two games we arrive in the 90s, when Milan won 1-0 at the then Casino Salzburg (now Red Bull), on 7 December 1994, with a goal from Massaro, and then until September 2017, when Montella’s Milan made their debut in the Europa League group, crashing Austria Vienna 5-1 with goals from Calhanoglu, a hat-trick from André Silva and a final goal from Suso.
As mentioned earlier, there are two precedents against the Salzburg team, only in 1994 it was called Casino Salzburg. In the first leg, in Milan, the Rossoneri won 3-0 with a goal from Stroppa and a brace from Simone. On the return Massaro gave the victory and the qualification behind Ajax, which AC Milan then met again in the final losing.
Serbian Jovanovic will referee, who AC Milan already had as a referee on one occasion: it was 20/09/2018 and Milan won 1-0 in Luxembourg, at home to F91 Dudelange, with a goal from Gonzalo Higuain.
