Milan happy to focus on Newcastle after derby defeat, says Pioli

The Hindu  

AC Milan will look to put Saturday’s humiliating 5-1 derby defeat by Inter Milan behind it when it hosts Newcastle United in its opening group game of the Champions League on Tuesday. “It was a huge disappointment but we have the Champions League now, thankfully, because it’s the only way we can actually try and switch our focus.” Milan went out of last season’s Champions League to its rivals Inter at the semi-final stage, and the league defeat on Saturday means it has now lost all five derby games in 2023. “I also owe them something because I’ve become the Milan coach who has lost the most derby games in a calendar year, but we will do everything in our power to make sure this season can still be a very positive campaign.” Pioli and his team will welcome Sandro Tonali back to the San Siro after the midfielder joined Newcastle in July. “It will be very emotional for him to come back to the San Siro, and we wish him all the best, but from matchday two onwards.” Along with Newcastle, Milan will also face Paris St-Germain and Borussia Dortmund in Group F of the Champions League.
