Milan’s winger Samu Castillejo insists competition with Alexis Saelemaekers for a starting spot is not a problem: ‘It makes you grow.’

The Rossoneri travel to Sparta Prague in the final game of the Europa League group stage tomorrow and the 25-years-old is expected to start over Alexis Saelemaekers on the right in Milan’s attacking trident.
"We are Milan, there is competition. It’s all about having strong players, it definitely makes you grow more. There’s no bigger game than the next one, so we are focused on tomorrow. We are doing something important, we want to achieve our goals.
"There is competition, there are excellent players. We are all available for the coach. Tomorrow they would want to beat us because we are Milan.”
