AC Milan travel to De Kuip on Wednesday for the first leg of their pivotal UEFA Champions League playoff showdown against Feyenoord.
The Dutch champions return to the knockout stages of Europe's elite competition for the first time since the 1984/85 campaign, but their path to this stage has been anything but straightforward. A humbling 6-1 drubbing at the hands of Lille in the league phase raised alarm bells, followed by domestic defeats to PSV and Ajax. However, a commanding 3-0 victory over Sparta Rotterdam last weekend has restored some much-needed confidence ahead of their meeting with Milan.
Despite their erratic form, Brian Priske's side boast a formidable home record, going unbeaten in six of their last seven outings at De Kuip. They also proved their ability to rise to the occasion with a dominant 3-0 triumph over Bayern Munich in the league phase.
AC Milan, on the other hand, arrive in Rotterdam in stronger form and with greater European pedigree. The Rossoneri finished two points clear of Feyenoord in the league phase, and while a 2-1 setback against Dinamo Zagreb on matchday eight was a blemish, they had already secured their playoff berth after winning their previous five matches.
Unbeaten in five of their last six fixtures across all competitions, Milan have won four in that span. Their latest outing saw Sérgio Conceição’s men ease to a 2-0 victory over Empoli in Serie A.

Team news & squads
Feyenoord team news
Feyenoord's injury woes persist, with Gernot Trauner all but ruled out for a third consecutive game. Timon Wellenreuther will once again deputize in goal with first-choice Justin Bijlow sidelined, while Calvin Stengs, Chris-Kevin Nadje, and Ramiz Zerrouki are also unavailable.
On a brighter note for Priske, left-back Quilindschy Hartman made his long-awaited return from a serious knee injury last weekend, and January arrival Jakub Moder has been added to their squad for the knockout stages.
Brazilian forward Igor Paixao, who registered four assists in the league phase—second only to Atalanta's Charles De Ketelaere—should be deployed in support of either Ayase Ueda or Julian Carranza.
AC Milan team news
Santiago Giménez faces his former club with an impressive tally of 65 goals in 105 appearances for Feyenoord. Already making an splash at Milan with a goal in the last game, he could exploit Feyenoord's weak defense here.
Integral to the Rossoneri's frontline, Christian Pulisic found the net four times in the league phase—setting a record for the most goals by an American in a single Champions League campaign—and is expected to start.
In addition to Giménez, the visitors have reinforced their squad with the arrivals of Kyle Walker, João Félix, Riccardo Sottil, and Warren Bondo, though the latter two have not been registered for European competition.
Meanwhile, Emerson Royal (calf), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (thigh), and Alessandro Florenzi (knee) are all sidelined with injuries, while Pulisic's international compatriot Yunus Musah will miss out due to suspension.
