It is a European evening for Milan, who face Austria Wien at the San Siro and look to obtain qualification to the knockout stages of the Europe League. Their goalie, Gianluigi Donnarumma, spoke to uefa.com before the match, "Europe is very important for these colors. European competition is a place where Milan must always be. It is an emotion I can't describe for me to play in Europe with Milan. From the beginning I felt a little more tense. The first match? It was fantastic, I remember a great enthusiasm. The beginning of my career? I started as an outfield player, and those who moved me to goalie helped me grow. I have always been a passionate Milan fan. When they would miss a penalty I would cry. I dreamed of playing for Milan from when I was a baby, therefore I am honored to wear this shirt and to give everything I have to be part of this club. My idols? Kaka is the best, but also Shevchenko was very strong. The start Mihajlovic gave me? I still can't believe it. I started as the third goalie. He always trained me well and believed in me. The day came where he called me in the dressing room and he decided to make me play. I felt ready, I wasn't scared to play. I was surprised, of course, but not scared because I had a great desire to prove myself."
"And now? We are team that has changed a lot, we purchased great players in the summer. We knew it wouldn't be easy to integrate everyone quickly. There is also a lot of work to integrate better. I am sure Milan has a great future ahead. My Brother? It is great to train together with him, because we laugh and joke. In training we work very hard but there are always moments to smile. With him I have fun along with Storari and Gabriel. We work a lot but we have fun."
