He\u2019s the king of kings, better than anyone else, and I\u2019m very proud of him.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The group stage of the Champions League concludes this week, with two of Gullit&#8217;s former clubs, Newcastle and AC Milan, facing each other at St James&#8217; Park.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams still have a chance of qualifying for the knockout rounds, but are relying on PSG slipping up against Borussia Dortmund.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gullit admits he has some sympathy for the Magpies after they were denied a famous victory in Paris in their latest European outing by a controversial stoppage-time penalty.<\/p>\n<p>But there are no split loyalties when it comes to Wednesday&#8217;s clash, with Gullit backing Milan to come out on top.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I feel so sorry for Newcastle \u2013 the decision was unbelievable. I think they deserve something out of the Champions League,\u201d said Gullit when reflecting on the penalty decision at the Parc des Princes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Milan is, of course, my team. I hope they get a result. I don\u2019t know what will happen between Newcastle and Milan. I\u2019ve seen Milan a lot this season, and I know they can play. They\u2019re a good team.
