Match Facts
Milan and Rennes will meet for the first time in a competitive fixture, with Milan progressing through four of their last five knockout ties against French opposition in major European competition, the most recent of which saw Milan eliminate Lyon at the quarter-final stage of the 2005/06 UEFA Champions League.
This will be Rennes’s fifth game against an Italian opponent in the UEFA Europa League, after two group-stage meetings with Udinese in the 2011/12 season (D1 L1) and then with Lazio in the 2019/20 campaign (W1 D1), with Rennes winning 2-0 at home in the most recent of those.
Only FC Salzburg (4) scored fewer goals than Milan (5) in the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League group stage, despite only four teams having more shots than I Rossoneri (95); Milan underperformed their expected-goals tally by a larger margin (-4.9) than any other team in the UEFA Champions League group stage.
After winning away to both Panathinaikos on MD3 and then to Maccabi Haifa on MD5 of the 2023/24 UEFA Europa League group stage, Rennes could now win three consecutive away games in major European competition for the very first time.
Olivier Giroud has been directly involved in 11 goals in nine UEFA Europa League knockout-stage appearances (7 goals + 4 assists): the Frenchman (37y 138d) could become the fourth oldest player to score in the knockout stages of the competition after Jorge Molina (38y 323d), Walter Samuel (37y 332d) and Miroslav Klose (37y 261d).
