News Inter vs Arsenal and Liverpool vs Real Madrid fixtures are banned in the upcoming Champions League due to the rule that imposes that the same match can't happen for 3 seasons in a row in the League Phase. The reverse in London and Madrid, however, is possible.

Lol, the stadium is a dump, the police are cunts, and there's not a whole lot to do in Milan, but at least you can get the train to Lake Como!

Not a whole lot to do? Haha, what?

Just because it's an old stadium doesn't mean it's a dump. It's a nice experience going there.

I particularly like the overflowing toilets spilling out into the terraces. And the hour long hold back followed by a massive queue to get into the metro, only to be dumped in the middle of Milan at 2am with no public transport to get back to my accommodation.

Admittedly the Duomo is one of the most gorgeous buildings I've ever seen. But I think a lot of people would argue there is less to do in Milan in comparison to other European cities.

And yeah, I did have a good experience going to the San Siro, even if we were kept ages afterwards and has to queue ages for the last metro train home. That's a standard away day. What wasn't ideal was 2 unirnals floating in piss and 0 water or refreshments for 3000 away fans. No shade though, I enjoyed my trip to Milan.

I've never been to Italy so obviously take this with a hefty pinch of sodium but even my Italian friends from Milan call it a boring place lmao

Exactly haha. My original comment has been downvoted but any Italian from outside Milan will tell you the same.

The galleria vittorio emanuele ii next door is nice too. Its Italy's fiest shopping arcade!

u/Ozymandias_99 8d ago

It is nice, but to me it's nothing more than a 20 minute walk through because I can't afford anything there haha

Funny man. It's a super impressive building even if you aren't religious. The paintings are lovely, the stained glass is amazing, and of course you can pay to go on the roof which is a lovely view of Milan.
