Malaga vs. AC Milan: Lineups

Malaga will be looking to prove their strong start to the Champions League is not a fluke as they face their apparent biggest rival in the group. Milan have been up and down this year and will be looking build off their win over Zenit.

Malaga’s main adjustment in Ignacio Camacho dropping from the midfield to fullback with Nacho Monreal unavailable to to injury. Otherwise, it’s essentially the same lineup that has rolled through Malaga’s first two Champions League matches.

Milan have switched up their lineup to a 3-4-3 formation in an apparent attempt to shake things up a bit apparently. Stephan El Shaarawy, the youngest ever UCL goal scorer for Milan starts up front and will be looking to build on his solid performance against Zenit earlier in the month.

Malaga starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Willy; Jesús Gámez, Weligton, Martín Demichelis, Ignacio Camacho; Joaquín Sánchez, Manuel Iturra; Eliseu, Isco, Francisco Portillo; Javier Saviola.

AC Milan starting lineup (3-4-3): Marco Amelia; Daniele Bonera, Philippe Mexès, Francesco Acerbi; Mattia De Sciglio, Riccardo Montolivo, Massimo Ambrosini, Kévin Constant; Urby Emanuelson, Giampaolo Pazzini, Stephan El Shaarawy.
