Fikayo Tomori has called on AC Milan to have the right attitude as they prepare to face Feyenoord in the return leg of the UEFA Champions League knockout playoff on Tuesday night, Afrosport reports.
The Rossoneri were let down by an Igor Paixao goal in the first leg at the De Kuip and will need to reverse the 1-0 deficit at the San Siro.
Speaking ahead of the game, Tomori said: “We must get into the pitch with the right attitude and looking for the victory as we always do. We know well that the first leg wasn’t the match that we were expecting but we know what we want to do. We must score one or two goals to reach the next round and we are ready to win.”
Meanwhile former Milan player turned senior adviser, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, wants Sergio Conceicao’s men to play the game like it is a final.
“Our team must be focused, aggressive and more clinical to the team we played in Rotterdam,” the Swede said.
“The players must take this match like a final, and you play a final to win it. It doesn’t matter how you win it. Obviously, you want to play well but you only want to win. We lost the first leg, and we need the result to reach the next stage.”

Should Milan pull through, they would reach the Champions League knockout phase for only the second time since the 2013-14 season.
