The former Real Madrid player acknowledges that Atletico Madrid fans will play a huge role as Milan seek to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg.
Essien has claimed that the supporters inside the Vicente Calderon will be a factor.
“We know the kind of atmosphere that the Atletico fans can produce here,” he told a Press conference.
“We know we’ll be able to feel that, but we’re here to play football.”
Essien then commented on this being a special occasion for himself, having played for Real Madrid, and his arrival at San Siro.
“Yes, this is something of a small derby for me!
“I had the offer of coming to Milan, and then Seedorf arrived. [Chelsea boss Jose] Mourinho told me it was a good option.”
