Milan faces Roma at San Siro in yet another Italian derby on the European road. Stefano Pioli is excited, he has the semi-finals within reach and he doesn't want to let them slip away.

The team is doing well both mentally and physically, fresh from the record of five consecutive successes in the championship and with Rafael Leao determined to win the match against Dybala. Gerry Cardinale is also expected to watch the match and then return to the United States. A victory could soften the judgment of Red Bird's number one who has reiterated several times that he is not satisfied with Milan's season. "It's one of the most important matches of the season. We are ready and prepared physically and mentally. It will be a great challenge", assures Ismael Bennacer of the Europa League quarter-final clash at the Olimpico next week. "We cannot think of neutralizing Roma completely. We cannot lose faith if on some occasions they get the better of them. On paper, both Milan and Roma can put on a show ".
