It’s the second leg of the round of 32 in the Champions League. Milan lost the first game away at the De Kuip by 0-1. Milan has an opportunity to turn things around at San Siro tonight. The team that goes through will face the winner of Arsenal or Inter in the round of 16.
Paixao was the obvious hero in the first game since he scored the only goal of the match (in the third minute). The 24-year-old striker from Brazil has had a great season so far and Paixao is gaining more and more attention from the top clubs in Europe. If he plays well at San Siro tonight, he will likely become one of the most sought-after players in the summer.
