Allegri: AC Milan have a great chance to reach Champions League

Allegri has admitted that the Catalans will be a tough opponent, but is confident that the Rossoneri will do well and feels the road to the final is open once they get past the Spanish powerhouse. "We are drawn against the best team in the world, but we can do well against them because we have improved a lot since our last meeting," Allegri explained to Gazzetta dello Sport, referring to their group stage encounters. "These games against Barcelona will bring out the best in Milan. Let's look at it from the bright side; we have a great chance to reach the final if we eliminate them." The first leg of the quarter-final will take place at San Siro on March 27 or 28. The winner of the tie between Milan and Barcelona will take on either Benfica or Chelsea in the semi-finals.
