Former AC Milan striker Hernan Crespo says they should embrace the prospect of facing Liverpool in their Champions League group.

They've been drawn in Group B with Liverpool, Atletico Madrid and Porto.

Crespo was on the pitch when Milan and Liverpool met in the 2005 Champions League Final with the Rossoneri who, somehow, managed to lose it despite being 3-0 up at halftime.

“It's still an open wound for me, Liverpool-Milan is the first game Champions League game this season, and you already know what it means to me," Crespo said.

“I had scored a brace in the first half, I have never forgotten that night and even though Milan already beat Liverpool in the 2007 Final, I'm asking Pioli's men to beat them at Anfield, get the revenge for me and show who Milan are."
