Stefano Pioli insisted AC Milan are “equal” to Tottenham ahead of their Champions League showdown.
Italian giants Milan won the Serie A title last season but have struggled for form and with injuries this term, which might give Spurs hope of reaching the quarter final stage. But Pioli says Milan believe they can overcome their opponents even though he admitted that the Premier League is streets ahead of Italian football in the current climate.
Milan boss Pioli said: “We believe we’re equal to Tottenham. Winning the Champions League is a dream but it’s useless to think about it now. A week ago, they beat Manchester City, but we don’t come in better or worse than them. It will be a big game that we will have to play well.
