The Rossonerri defeated Slavia Prague 4-2 at San Siro, but it's still far from over, as the Italians aim to approach the return leg as if it was 0-0
AC Milan are facing Slavia Prague in the return leg of the UEFA Europa League Round of 16 on Thursday after celebrating a statement 4-2 win at San Siro last week.
The Rossonerri's CEO, Giorgio Furlani, insists that Milan "will start from 0-0" despite possessing a 4-2 advantage heading into the upcoming game.

Furlani did not address the topic of the current investigation into Milan by the financial authorities in Italy and instead solely focused on tonight's match.
"Tonight is important, the Europa League is a competition that we have never won. We would like to try," Furlani told reporters in Prague.
"We start from 4-2, but in our heads, we have to believe that we're starting from 0-0," he added.
