Franco Baresi, honorary vice president of Milan, spoke to Sky Sport about the Champions League group with Atletico Madrid, Liverpool and Porto: "Starting from Pot 4 we had to be lucky not to take important teams ... It will be a difficult group, but we are returned to the Champions League after 7 years and we will prepare well. Milan must never forget their history. The team has grown a lot. The risk avoided by the group with PSG and City? It does not change much ... it is a very important group, but we must not forget who we are and our history.

We must enjoy this moment, the team will want to do this competition against important teams. Looking at this group there are several Champions won ... We must not lose enthusiasm and be convinced that we can do Important matches. Are Atletico more worried than the others? Atletico are always difficult to face, but all of them are difficult.

Porto is difficult, we know Liverpool, they are strong and with quality. They will be good matches, for many it will be their first experience and there will be a desire to do well. In football then there is nothing taken for granted. We have a young team, with players who have grown a lot but also with experienced players.

We will play with great conviction, Milan will not start as the last of the group as the bands say. We expected to face important teams. Will the great leader of Milan be Ibrahimovic, Kjaer or Kessie? These three have been important over the years and have made everyone grow. But our leader will be the game. Milan showed beautiful, proactive football. We must never lose this conviction linked to the game and to the collective, then the individualities will make the difference but the compactness of the team will be fundamental ".
