Carlo Ancelotti sees the trip to Benfica as the perfect opportunity for Milan to secure Champions League qualification.
The European champions won’t relinquish their grip on the trophy lightly and they travel to Portugal leading Group D by three points.
“We have a great chance to finish the job and secure qualification,” Ancelotti asserted in his UEFA Press conference.
“Playing against big sides we turn in big performances and I think that it’ll be a great game.
“We must be positive after the Cagliari game and see this as a golden chance to ensure that all we are playing for in the final game is first and second place.”
As well as trying to revitalise their Serie A push by beating Juventus on Saturday, Milan have one eye on December’s Club World Cup.
“It’s not just an important week, but from here until Christmas we will be busy,” Ancelotti stated.
“Things have started well and we need to continue like this as it’s a month that will define our ambitions.”
Ronaldo is expected to start on the bench at Estádio da Luz with Kaka and Clarence Seedorf playing behind Alberto Gilardino.
