Milan are playing Napoli for a place in the Champions League semi-finals and the Rossoneri have a slender lead from the first leg. Defender Simon Kjaer admitted in the press room that he was facing one of the games of his life.

Milan want to get back to where they belong against Napoli and get back into the semi-finals of the competition. The 'Rossoneri' have a slender lead after the 1-0 win in the first leg.

Defender Simon Kjaer appeared in the press room and gave his thoughts on the game: "It's these games that give me the motivation to train every day. It's a big game for the team, maybe one of the best of my career. We have to be solid, fight together, even in difficult moments like the first ten minutes of the first leg... We have to understand how to play and how to get out of these difficult moments: that's where we've grown so much".

And he also spoke about defending Victor Osimhen: "It won't change much. He is a player with great qualities, very fast and very physical. He had a fantastic season. We prepared for him, but the basis remains the same: we defend everyone, we attack everyone.

"We also have to be good on the pitch because of the quality they have. We've beaten them the last two times and we know we can also beat them again. We are up against a strong team, but we are Milan," he said.

Finally, Kjaer analysed their opponents: "They will definitely change something, because they lost the first two games. I think they will be even more aggressive at home and we have to be ready. The whole scene will make them big and aggressive. We have to show character and have courage to play, because we have quality".
