65 thousand fans are expected in San Siro in the first match, while 35 thousand should be in Skopje at the return match. One hundred thousand people in two matches, it's an extraordinary figure for this European league level.
Italian media report that 25 thousand tickets have been sold for the first match in Milan this Thursday, given that by August 15th Milan is an empty town due to summer holidays.
In the meantime, exciting news comes from Tetovo. Ten thousand tickets have been sold so far for the return match to be played after 10 days in Skopje. Of course the stadium will be okay out.
The challenge against Milan is a major sports event. There was since the late 1990s that an Albanian team had not faced such a huge giant in the international arena in official matches.
Against Milan has never played an Albanian club in European cups, while memory says Tirana's challenges against Bayerni are those with a team so much titled in Europe. The Teuta with Parma is the last major challenge to Italians in 1994, while against Naples played Vlasnia in 2008 and against Milan has played a friendly Tirana in 2009.
Milan is not only a love in Italy, it is certainly Albanian love.
