Legendary former AC Milan striker Jean-Pierre Papin believes that his old club is primed to clinch the Europa League title this season. Papin expressed his optimism following the recent Round of 16 draw revealed last Friday.

The Italian giants, commonly known as the Rosonerri, are slated to face Slavia Prague in a pivotal match that will determine their progression to the quarter-finals. Papin, in an exclusive interview with TribalFootball, confidently labeled Milan as the frontrunners to emerge victorious in the prestigious tournament.

Reflecting on Milan’s recent setback against Rennes, Papin remarked, “I witnessed a somewhat disheartened Milan in their defeat to Rennes. After a 3-0 victory, it can be challenging to approach the subsequent match. However, this season, Milan has displayed the prowess deserving of a substantial achievement.”
