Wolfsburg's Azzurri defenders Andrea Barzagli and Cristian Zaccardo have the utmost respect for Milan ahead of tonight's UEFA Cup clash.
Both Milan and Wolfsburg have secured their places in the last 32 of the UEFA Cup.
However, tonight's San Siro encounter decides which side top Group E with the Rossoneri needing a win to overtake their Bundesliga opponents.
Milan have just been beaten 4-2 by Juventus and aren't in the best of spirits after a poor period, but Barzagli is wary of the Diavolo threat.
“We don't think that Milan are in crisis,” the Tuscan stopper insisted.
“It's not possible to think about things in that way - we must be ready for the hardest of tests.
“It will be a great pleasure to play in an Italian stadium again, especially against a Milan side who have various teammates from the Azzurri squad,” Zaccardo ventured.
Milan have won two and drawn one so far in Group E, while Wolfsburg have a 100 per cent record with 3-2 wins over Braga and Portsmouth and a thumping 5-1 rout of Heerenveen.
