AC Milan will welcome Newcastle United to the San Siro Stadium in their UEFA Champions League 2023-24 group-stage opener on Tuesday. Newcastle are back in the group stage of the competition after 21 years. Milan became the champions the last time Newcastle played in the Champions League in the 2002-03 season.
AC Milan were eliminated from the semi-finals by arch-rivals Inter Milan last season. Their struggles against Inter continued as they suffered a 5-1 defeat at the San Siro in Serie A last week. Meanwhile, the Magpies returned to winning ways after three consecutive losses in the Premier League. In their last appearance in Europe, they made it to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League in the 2012-13 edition.
