The pressure was high for AC Milan getting just a draw in the Champions League Group Stage Group B Matchday 4 game against Porto on Wednesday 3 November 2021 at the San San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy.   Milan have lost all three matches of the season in this Champions League. AC Milan, at least, grabbing their first point in the group. In general, the Rossoneri have returned from five consecutive defeats in the competition, their longest negative streak in the European Cup / Champions League.  Tough for the qualification, a miracle will be needed. On Matchday 5, Milan will visit Atletico Madrid while Porto will be guests of Liverpool.

After losing only one of their first six games with Porto in European cups (3W, 2D), Milan have been defeated in two of their last four (1W, 1N), including the last one – 0-1 this season. AC Milan hosted Porto in European Cups for the fifth time, the first since September 1996. Both sides have achieved two wins in the previous four, with the Lusitanians winning 3-2 on the last occasion.  Porto have only lost one of their last five Champions League away games (3W, 1D), having lost the previous three in a row.
