Milan were bombarded by Roma in the first half (11 shots to one, three corners to zero), and yet there was a point where it looked like another perfect smash and grab. In the 17th minute of the second half, a corner from Luka Modric was met by Koni De Winter's header, to put Milan in the lead. The magician Allegri had done it again, yet Gasperini this time was able to respond to the trick, getting a point thanks to a penalty.
We want to defend as best as we can and use our strengths going forward, set pieces and transitions. If we want to have a chance against Bayern, we have to make good use of them. We're happy to have another chance to play against the best team in Germany and one of the best in Europe. It's a highlight that we're looking forward to.
He'll want to shorten the points, keep Sinner moving, attack the second serve and perhaps lay some drops, given sinner is less effective at net that from the back. I also wonder if he'll try slicing backhand to backhand, though that's his weaker flank; it's not easy to find weaknesses in Sinner's armoury, but touch shots are closer to such thing than power ones.

Whether it is 10 men each, it is always difficult from 2-0 down.
The retired footballer-turned-radio pundit has tried his hand at management in recent years, initially taking the reins at phoenix club Macclesfield FC. Savage won 42 of his 51 games in charge of the Silkmen, earning promotion to the National League North and a move of his own to join recently-relegated National League club Forest Green. Since arriving at The New Lawn in July, Savage has won eight of his 11 games at the helm, including Rovers' National League Cup match against Wolverhampton Wanderers' Under-21 side on Tuesday night.
All going according to plan for Stephen Bradley's Hoops so far! It'll no doubt get tense after the break with no room for second chances. The Hoops have kept their Portuguese visitors shooting from distance with 5 in total, while Josh Honohan's effort on 37 minutes was the best chance of the half as he struck the bar. Dan McDonnell has his say at the interval in Dublin 24:
