The Rossoneri Vice-President insists that the tie will be equally challenging for both the clubs; hails http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 as the best ever.

The Rossoneri Vice President has hailed Messi as the greatest ever, placing him above Pele and Maradona. He insisted that the Argentine will be the greatest threat for his team, and hoped that the star will remain out of touch
against the Diavolo.
While talking to the Milan’s official channel, the C.E.O said:
“I’ve seen http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pele-c40189 play, but I think that Messi is the greatest ever. I’m seeing him play well, I hope he plays less well in the two games against us…”
The draw was a little unkind to the Milan outfit, as they have been put against the reigning champions, but the Diavolo boss is confident. The 67-year-old insisted that the challenge is equal for both the teams, and pointed out
that it is not the first time the club has been placed against one of the Spanish giants.
“It will be a tough game for us, as it will be for them, but we are not the most successful club in the world by chance. The draw has gone the way it has gone, we’re used to it. In the last three seasons we have been drawn against
Real Madrid and Barcelona. We’ll face Barca four times now this season.”
The Rossoneri boss admitted that it would have been better to face the Catalonians in the semi-final or the final, but pointed out that it was an Italian team, who eliminated Barca in the 2010 semi-finals.
The Milan-outfit will play the first-leg at home, but the former Lega Calcio boss believes there are other factors that will be more important.
“The key thing is to have everyone fit and at the Coach’s disposal for the two matches.” The chief added.
The first-leg will be played on Wednesday, March 28.
