Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani is confident that Milan can
beat Bayern Munich in the Champions League, despite being held at
home in the first leg.

The Rossoneri travel to Munich on Wednesday for the return match of
their quarter-final, with the Bundesliga boys favourites after they
forced a 2-2 draw last week.

"I am sure we can qualify as we are stronger than Bayern," said
Galliani to Sky Italia after Saturday night's win over Empoli.

"The result of the first leg doesn't correspond to what really
happened on the pitch. They scored in injury time and Alberto
Gilardino's goal shouldn't have been disallowed.

"He also didn't deserve to be booked and could have been available
for the next game. In any case, we have been playing very well
lately – only Inter are doing better than us.

"Am I afraid about the referee? All Champions League matches are
generally well handled, although mistakes can be made."

Milan's 3-1 win over Empoli allowed them to leapfrog the Tuscan side
in the race for fourth place and Galliani could not hide his
satisfaction.

"Today was a very important day for the championship. We are one
point shy of Palermo, who have also played an extra match,"
explained the former Lega Calcio chief.

"We leapfrogged Empoli and now we face three matches away from home,
one in the Champions League and two in Serie A. We will see what the
situation is after April 18."
