Gattuso’s team wants to get to the top of the match against Barcelona and build from now those certainties necessary for the next championship at the highest levels. The maximum goal in the championship is fifth place and Milan, one of the competitors (-2 in the standings), arrives at San Paolo, among the most fit together with the Azzurri and Atalanta. Gattuso’s team therefore has the opportunity to kick back behind the Rossoneri and improve the excellent streak of results in the second round (it is at 27 points, like Juve, and at -4 from Atalanta who will face the Bianconeri)
