The Serie A runners-up will hope to make it
through to the second round, after a kind draw saw them avoid any of the
dangerous teams in the second pot, such as Paris Saint-Germain or
Manchester City.
Milan will face a tough away fixture against
Russian champions Zenit, however the Serie A outfit could fancy their
chances against recently troubled Malaga and Belgian giants Anderlecht.
"Compared
to the last two seasons, there is one very strong team, but three teams
where all things are equal," claimed Allegri, when speaking to Tuttosport.
"Surely a group like this is winnable - our goal is first place to give us a better draw in the second round."
Milan's Dutch utility man Urby Emanuelson was similarly optimistic regarding
the group Milan have been handed, shown through his relief on Twitter.
"We avoided the group of death. For us, Zenit, Anderlecht and Malaga," tweeted the Rossoneri man.
The pressure to deliver will be on Milan's shoulders when they face Anderlecht at the San Siro next month.
