Rafa wary of Milan
Rafa has warned his players to be wary of a 'dangerous' AC Milan team in the Champions League final later this month.
The Italians swept aside Manchester United in the semi-final second leg at the San Siro on Wednesday to set up a rematch of their 2005 encounter when, from 3-0 up at half-time, they eventually lost on penalties to the Merseysiders.
Benitez believes Milan will be driven by revenge for that shock defeat and has urged his team not to underestimate the task ahead.
'It's clear we are going to play a team with players with a great attitude and quality,' said the Spaniard, whose own side saw off the challenge of Chelsea on penalties to reach the Athens final.
'You could see by how hard they worked last night. They are desperate to win the Champions League and after what happened two years ago we must be very careful.
'They are a very dangerous opponent for us.'
