Maldini Picks AC Milan, Chelsea As Favourites From Champions League Group E

Maldini Picks AC Milan, Chelsea As Favourites From Champions

AC Milan legend and now-Director Paolo Maldini has picked his side alongside Chelsea to qualify from UEFA Champions League group E.

The draw for the Champions League was done in Istanbul on Thursday and Italian champions AC Milan were drawn in Group E with Chelsea, Salzburg and Dinamo Zagreb.

Maldini in a chat with Milan TV expressed his delight in avoiding a Group of Death.

He said, "It is a group that sees us as top seeds, so on paper, it might seem less difficult compared to last season.

"Salzburg are a strong team who might not have a great history but are still difficult to face, while we took on Dinamo Zagreb a few years ago in a preliminary round.

“The favourites are Milan and Chelsea. It’s good to have a strong team in the group with you, as it can make qualification a little simpler,” Maldini said.

As much as on paper, AC Milan and Chelsea look like the favourite -- on this centre stage the possibility of an upset should not be overuled.
