Walker Appeals to Milan Fans After Champions League Setback

Following AC Milan’s disappointing 1-0 loss to Feyenoord in the first leg of their Champions League playoff, Kyle Walker has made an impassioned plea to the club’s supporters. The English defender emphasized the critical role fans will play in the upcoming return match at San Siro.

Despite high expectations surrounding Milan’s attacking quartet of Rafael Leao, Joao Felix, Christian Pulisic and Santiago Gimenez, the team struggled after conceding an early goal. They were unable to equalize before halftime, leading some commentators to suggest Milan was fortunate to only be trailing by one goal.

Walker took to social media after the match, stating: “The result wasn’t what we hoped for, but everything is still to play for in Tuesday’s second leg. We’ll need the full support of every single one of you.” His message underscores the importance of a strong home atmosphere as Milan attempts to overturn the deficit and advance in the competition.

While the loss was undoubtedly a setback, all is not lost for Sergio Conceicao’s squad. The return leg at San Siro presents an opportunity for redemption, with Walker’s comments highlighting the potential impact of passionate fan support in such a crucial encounter.
