PREVIEW-Soccer-Milan need right mentality, says Ancelotti

By James Eve

ROME, May 1 (Reuters) - Carlo Ancelotti has urged AC Milan to produce a repeat of their quarter-final victory against Bayern Munich when they host Manchester United in the return leg of their Champions League semi-final on Wednesday.

Trailing 3-2 after the first leg of the tie, Milan need to beat the Premier League leaders at the San Siro stadium to reach the 10th European Cup final of their history.

Milan showed an ability to overturn an unpromising first-leg result in the last eight, when they followed up a 2-2 draw at home with an impressive 2-0 win in Munich.

"It's all about our mentality. When we were in Munich I was thinking about the semi-final, and now I'm thinking about the final because that's what we are aiming for," Milan coach Ancelotti was quoted as saying in La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"You always have to raise the barrier a little. If you're playing a semi-final the best way to go forward is to think about the next objective.

"As far as United are concerned, I'm not thinking about the errors we need to avoid, but about the things we need to do. I see the match in a positive light."

The match is likely to see the return of Filippo Inzaghi to the starting line-up. The 33-year-old striker missed the first leg due to injury, but has a knack of scoring in crucial games as he showed by getting Milan's second goal in Munich.

Inzaghi's return strengthens a team that is enjoying its best run of form this season and rose to third in Serie A on Saturday by beating Torino 1-0.
