Massimilliano Allegri quite relieved because AC Milan will only meet Tottenham Hotspur in the last 16 league champions.
Allegri assumed that the Spurs are not as "dangerous" as other clubs in the knock-out round. Spurs assessed more easily than some other big teams a potentially to be the opposite of Milan.
Finished as runner-up group G, Milan had a chance to meet with the several big teams like Barcelona, Chelsea, Manchester United or Bayern Munich. But from the draw, Rossonerri "only" will face against the Spurs.
"I am pleased with the this drawing. We will go to London and will always be fun to play against England team.They are a good team, strong in attack but looking at statistics, they have a little problem in defense." Allegri said as quoted by Football-Italy.
It is undeniable that the Spurs is an uderdog in this competition. Harry Redknapp's squad is unpredictable to be the champion of Group A and had beat a better seeded team Inter Milan.
Allegri may be quite relieved with this drawing results. But he must be aware because Milan did not have a good record when play against the England teams.
Within last two of three seasons, Milan always defeated when play against teams from the UK in the last knock-out rounds.
