On the contrary - as a Milan fan, I love and welcome the challenge. It's been quite a while since I have had the chance to watch Milan play opponents of this level. Not much of a chance to pass this group but it will provide a valuable experience for Milan and an opportunity to measure where they currently stand and where they need to get over then next few season.
See, you are making the mistake of thinking that just because Milan has sucked the past 7-8 years we Milan fans are somehow scared of a challenge. No, bud, quite the opposite, even if this Milan team is far from its glorious best, the CL is still our competition and we are used to the "to be the best you have to beat the best" philosophy. We are not running scared, we are not like Juve fans, who pray for the weakest opponent possible, so that they can somehow luck into winning a league that has them running scared.

It is always better to get the easiest opponent as possible because UCL is about the $$, so the only way to get more money is to advanced to knockout stage the more stage you go the more money you get and the difference is huge

So be happy getting draw or lose and get KO in group stage, by like Liverpool,ATM and Porto get so small money and let Kessie go next year, just like what happened to Donnaruma and Calhanoglu. Then Theo will want to go too, so your club will left with Ibra and Giroud

Are you sure won't run scared? Are you sure you won't get clobbered and then disappear for months again?

I guess you are right though why not enjoy this once in a decade opportunity

What a generalisation, you asshat. I for one can’t wait to lord it over the likes of Zenit and Malmö before sharing biscotti with Chelsea to ensure a clean passage through the group.

Don't worry about Milan, worry about that over-glorified has-been who's been ruining your salary structure and has made it impossible to build a proper team for the past 3 years.
Talk about getting stupid out of sheer desperation to win a league that has become your boogie-man, at this point ...

And so we meet again ... :D
You guys and Atletico should make it through. At this point, I can only hope that my guys make it really tough for you but that will likely be the extent of it.
Good luck!
Thanks man. It’s almost as if our club are linked through history. It’s the CL so you never know what could happen, especially in a group like this.

So:
A - Easy - City and PSG...
B - Atletico and Liverpool are favorites but its not impossible for Milan to go through and I wouldnt rule out Porto qualifying as well
C - Dortmund are going to thrash everyone and see who joins them - Ajax vs Sporting with Ajax perhaps with better odds
D - Real are going through. Based on their first game of the season under Inzaghi I`d say Inter will go through this time. Shakhtar can definitely give a fight
E - There is probably not a single person that thinks this group isnt already sealed. Bayern and Barcelona easily.
F - Interesting group actually. Except for Young Boys all 3 are capable of going through - Atalanta and Man Utd are favored of course.
G - Europa League invaded the Champions League.. since all teams are meh - everything is wide open.
H - Juventus and Chelsea should definitely qualify but we just changed coach again after a terrible season so we need more prove in order to be assured of qualification.

I like us facing Barca. Not only do we have a lot of history with them but it's been very long since we last played them in the group stage of the CL.

Last time was back in the famous season of 98-99 if I'm not wrong.
