International:Score808 808ballAfter progressing from Group F in the fall and entering last week's trip to Italy in their best form of the season, Rennes had higher expectations for their performance at San Siro. However, with a challenging playoff contest due to finishing second to Villarreal in the group phase, Rennes faces a tough task to advance to the Europa League last 16. Despite a recent setback with only the second failure to score in 17 Europa League fixtures, Rennes bounced back with a 3-1 win over Clermont in domestic competition, featuring a second-half brace from Martin Terrier. The team has also secured a spot in the Coupe de France quarter-finals and is making a significant push for European qualification under head coach Julien Stephan, who took over from Bruno Genesio.


Milan took control of last week's match with two Ruben Loftus-Cheek headers and Rafael Leao's goal, securing a comfortable 3-0 victory at San Siro. They now head to France as strong favorites to progress in the Europa League. Loftus-Cheek's double made him the first Rossoneri player to score twice in a European knockout game in 17 years, marking a successful return to continental competition after dropping down from the Champions League. Despite finishing third in a challenging group, Milan's comprehensive win over Rennes puts them on course for a potential first-ever triumph in the UEFA Europa League. With a strong history of advancing in European ties after winning at home in the first leg, Milan has precedent on their side as they face Rennes this Thursday.
