AC Milan, Italy’s most decorated club in European competitions, is set to embark on their quest for glory in the new Champions League format. The most significant change in this year’s tournament is the restructuring of the initial phase. Instead of eight groups of four teams each, there will now be a single league where each team plays eight matches against different opponents. Points earned in these encounters will contribute to a unified ranking, with the top eight teams advancing directly to the round of 16, teams ranked 9th to 24th entering an additional playoff, and those ranked 25th to 36th being eliminated.
Here’s AC Milan’s schedule for their eight Champions League fixtures:
Matchday 1 – Tuesday, September 17, 2024, 21:00 – AC Milan vs Liverpool at San Siro, Milan
Matchday 2 – Tuesday, October 1, 2024, 21:00 – Bayer Leverkusen vs AC Milan at BayArena, Leverkusen
