‘We joked about facing Barca again’

Milan director Umberto Gandini saw the bright side of facing Barcelona for a fourth time in three years in the Champions League.

The Italians, who have been eliminated in each of the past two editions of the tournament by the Catalans, are drawn once more against them in this year’s group phase.

“In the hall we were joking before the draw that we could face Barcelona again, but that proved to be the case,” Gandini reflected to Sky Sport Italia.

“It’s the fourth time in three years.

“Oh well, at least our fans can see Barcelona again at San Siro with the added bonus of their new arrival Neymar.

“It’s a great group. Ajax and Celtic are not sides to be underestimated.”
