The first leg ended 1-1 at San Siro in February, and it was today finally confirmed that the second leg will be in Turin on Friday June 12 – a day earlier than originally planned.

According to Sky Sport Italia, coach Stefano Pioli has been experimenting with two approaches during training over the last couple of days.

Changes have to be made, as Zlatan Ibrahimovic (who was injured anyway with a calf strain) and Theo Hernandez are suspended.

The first version of the Rossoneri is a 4-3-1-2 formation with Hakan Calhanoglu in the trequartista role behind Ante Rebic and Rafael Leao.

As for the other alternative, that would be 4-3-2-1 with Lucas Paqueta and Calhanoglu in a Christmas Tree formation supporting lone centre-forward Rebic.
