Sergio Conceicao's AC Milan are facing Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday and need a win to secure a spot in the top eight of the table, but they can also hope for a draw but then will need to wait for the other results of the games. The Rossoneri had an eventful Sunday as they won 3-2 against Parma with an incredible comeback in the stoppage time, but all the eyes were on the manager's verbal fight with AC Milan defender Davide Calabria at the end of the same game. Here are our storylines, how you can watch the match and more:

League phase so far
The Rossoneri had a difficult start of the campaign under former manager Paulo Fonseca with two defeats against Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen, but he was also able to lead AC Milan to an exciting away win at the Santiago Bernabeu against Real Madrid. Since then, AC Milan's record was perfect and they won all the matches, and they are now fully in the race to end up in the top eight. On the other hand, Dinamo Zagreb desperately need for a win to clinch the play-offs, as they are currently in 26th place, two points behind the top 24.
