The Dutch team will have a great chance of progressing into the next round of the UEFA Champions League. In the first leg, Feyenoord narrowly won the game 1-0 against AC Milan. They will surely look to get another good result against the Rossoneri to book their place in the knockout phase.

Feyenoord sacked their manager, Brian Pirske, due to their poor performance in the Eredivisie, but he surely helped them reach this far in UCL for the first time since 1994/95. This will be a very important game for the Dutch team, and they will surely look to make their fans happy by forcing an upset at San Siro.

Problems continue for AC Milan as they are trailing by one goal. They surely have a lot of pressure on them to get the win on Tuesday. Milan was the most active club in the winter transfer window and brought in a lot of quality players who are expected to help the team achieve their objective.

Player(s) to watch:

• Santiago Gimenez has quite a stocky build which helps him to hold up the ball very well. Nimble, quick feet and dribbling are something Gimenez has in his arsenal which means he can surprise defenders, break likes and beat them. He is not a number nine who purely needs service to thrive, he can create his own chances sometimes out of nothing. He also has a knack for giving assists. The best part is how he looks up to find his teammates in position. Off the ball, he likes to press high up on the pitch. In the last three games for Milan, he has scored a goal. The forward will look to help his new team go into the next round against his former team.
• Jakub is a physically imposing presence on the pitch. He is of medium build but possesses good strength in 1v1 situations. He has a decent pace and possesses good short bursts of acceleration. He demonstrates an exceptional range of passing in most situations and knows when to keep the ball on the floor and play simple passes. One thing that he always looks to do is progress the ball whenever possible. The Polish international played a key role in the last fixture against Milan and surely he will look to repeat the same performance in the next few days. Till now he has played five games for the Dutch side and has already impressed fans with his performance.
