The French club now lead the standings on seven points, one more than Milan, four above third-placed Sparta, and six ahead of Celtic. Previous meetings • LOSC also got the better of Milan the one previous time the clubs were paired together in European competition, drawing 0-0 at home and winning 2-0 away in the 2006/07 UEFA Champions League group stage, but while both clubs went through to the knockout phase it was the Italian side who went on to win the competition, beating Liverpool 2-1 in the final. • LOSC have a positive overall balance against Italian clubs in UEFA competition of W6 D1 L4, but they have won only two of the five home games (D1 L2), most recently losing 0-1 to Milan's city rivals Internazionale in the 2011/12 UEFA Champions League group stage. • Milan's away record against French clubs is W4 D3 L4 with victories on each of their last two visits, the most recent a 2-0 success at Auxerre in the 2010/11 UEFA Champions League group stage, Zlatan Ibrahimović scoring the opening goal. • The Rossoneri's most famous encounter with French opposition outside Italy was the inaugural UEFA Champions League final of 1992/93, which they lost 1-0 to Marseille in Munich. Form guide LOSC • LOSC are back in the UEFA Europa League group stage for the fourth time thanks to the fourth place they occupied when last season's Ligue 1 campaign ended in March. Christophe Galtier's side also competed in the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League, finishing bottom of a group containing Chelsea, Valencia and Ajax. • The club from northern France last participated in the UEFA Europa League group stage in 2014/15, when they failed to win a game (D4 L2). Their other two group campaigns, in 2009/10 and 2010/11, were more successful as they reached the knockout phase on both occasions. • Les Dogues are without a win in 13 European home matches (D6 L7) and have registered just eight goals over that stretch, two of them in the 2-2 draw against Celtic on Matchday 2. Although their all-time home record in the UEFA Europa League proper is W6 D5 L2, the last of those victories dates back almost a decade to Matchday 6 of their domestic double-winning 2010/11 season, when they beat Gent 3-0. Milan • A sixth-placed finish in Serie A last term earned Milan a return to Europe after a one-season absence. Stefano Pioli's side beat Shamrock Rovers (2-0 a) and runaway Norwegian league leaders Bodø/Glimt (3-2 h) in their first two qualifying matches before dramatically capturing a place in the UEFA Europa League group stage by ousting Rio Ave 9-8 in a marathon penalty shoot-out after a 2-2 draw in Portugal.
