The last time such comeback for Milan in European competition happened after two-goal deficit was the round of 32 of the 1985-86 UEFA Cup.
Meanwhile, AC Milan could re-watch Liverpool’s miracle night at Anfield as Jurgen Klopp’s side smashed Barcelona 4-0 to overturn a three-goal first leg’s deficit.
A comeback is possible but very, very difficult, or dare we say, a mountain to climb.
The Nerazzurri are 90 minutes away from a sixth Champions League final since 2010, and Inzaghi could become only the fifth Italian manager to lead an Italian team to a chance at European football’s holy grail.
Rafael Leao, who had been missing the first leg due to injury, now returned to the latest training and would be desperate to feature in the second leg.

Simeone Inzaghi’s side have been enjoying an impressive winning streak with six victories in all competitions, including the first leg win over their rival Milan.
Meanwhile, Rossoneri only managed to have two wins in the last six games, while having lost to relegation-threatened Spezia last weekend in the Serie A 2022/23.
H2H
It would be only frustrated even more for Stefano Pioli’s side when they have already beaten by Inter Milan three games straight this season, the first time this happened for over decades.
The last time Milan grabbed a win against their city rival dated back in 2022 during the Serie A game in September.
It was the game that was lightened by Leao’s brilliant performance with two goals and one assist.
Prediction
Inter will have their first UCL final since 2010 after a tight tie against Milan this time, a draw will be the best scenario.
We say: Inter 1-1 Milan.
