AC Milan coach Pioli: Two Porto games could be decisive

AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli says their clash with Porto will be decisive to their Champions League chances.

Milan meet Porto in the next two group games.

“We face a solid, compact opponent," Pioli said at a press conference. “They have fast attacking players and a well prepared coach.

“It will be a match that will present difficulties that are typical of high-level games.

“The two games against Porto could be decisive for the final outcome.

“[Rade] Krunic can start the match, he fights for the place with [Daniel] Maldini. Rade is fine, he can either start or enter during the game.

“[Ismael] Bennacer is fine too, he's ready for tomorrow."

He added: “We must remain focused and clear-headed in every situation. We have paid dearly for every mistake: we need total attention.

“We lost the first two due to two moments of carelessness."
