Dudelange coach Toppmoller excited facing AC Milan

Dudelange coach Dino Toppmoller is excited to meeting AC Milan in the Europa League.

Toppmoller admits the game is a dream come true.

“I have great love for Italy and after Germany it is my favourite team in the world. I've had a weakness for Milan since I was a kid," the coach of the Luxembourg club told Sky Sport Italia.

“Just think of the incredible team with the likes of Gennaro Gattuso, Kaka, Clarence Seedorf, Andrea Pirlo, Filippo Inzaghi, Paolo Maldini, Kahka Kaladze and Alessandro Nesta.

“I was in Milan four years ago visiting the city and I did the San Siro tour with my son. I also visited the locker rooms and it's extraordinary to think I'll be back in there with my team. I've already circled November 29 in the calendar for the San Siro game.

“We want to play our football, control the ball and develop an attacking approach. Obviously, Milan are stronger than Legia Warsaw and Cluj, who we eliminated in the preliminary rounds, but we are ready and happy at this opportunity."
