Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali admits Tuesday's Champions League clash at AC Milan will be 90 per cent emotion as he returns to the San Siro for the first time since leaving the Italian club in July.
The 23-year-old Italy international arrived on Tyneside for a fee reported to be 70 million euros ($74.82 million), part of Newcastle's squad strengthening ahead of their Champions League return after a 20-year absence.
While he admits it will be a strange feeling going back to the club he supports, he said it will not be a problem once the whistle goes to start the game.
"I had a difficult start, at the beginning it was not easy"
Sandro Tonali admits he struggled to adapt to life at Newcastle when he joined from AC Milan, but is now feeling more settled at the club
