Barcelona-Ac Milan;Champions league's quarter final second leg.

I cant see how Bonera will handle this again without sh1tting his pants.

This can get ugly or exciting. We will see after about 30 mins of playtime if this has potential or be killed early by Barca.

Pep expects Milan to score, dont think he is just saying it for the sake of it either.

My biggest fear is we are winning 1-0 or 2-1 and Milan get a very late goal sending us out on the away goals rule.

We're going to be as cool as Obama on a skateboard!!!

If we believe in our great team, we will go through!!!

Ibra to not take his chances for the umpteenth time and Barca to go through with a clinical Perfomance.

I'd predict a 2-0 win for Barca plus i can see Ibra missing an easy chance and going missing as usual.

When you are the talisman of the team ,you have to stand up on big occasions like these..Ibra never has and never will.Reason why he has still doesnt have a CL medal to his name ,its cuz of his weak mentality in big clashes.

Edit :Is Xavi playing ?if not then the game would be closer than i would think.

Iniesta on the wing-> you'll have a chance for 0-0. If Cex plays as well, 0-0 is very likely. If Tello starts you're f*** up Milan fans If Keita starts for ' defensive stability' on top the first two, then expect to win

The game will be decided on whether or not Milan put enough into their attacking game.

Any scoring draw sees them through so a positive approach by Milan gives them the advantage.

You know this game reminds me so much of Inter-United three years ago when Inter played out a draw with United.

Everyone was actually raving about this 0-0 draw and how it could be tricky for Man United plus there was the Mourinho factor.

What happened in the game ?With all due respect Inter played pretty good but Ibra once again bottled his chances.There were two easy ones actually which really should have gone in the back of the net.

Now three years later there is an even tougher side in Barca and Milan tbf are a good side as good as that Inter side if not better.And they do have the defensive personnel to stop them.

But with Ibra leading the frontline i dont think i can see Milan scoring.I am not sure if Robinho is playing and if he is dropped playing Pato doesnt make much of a difference either.Since Milan would be defending deep and try to hit them on the break you need to have good linkup and chemistry and that is terribly lacking in Ibra-Pato partnership.

I think Milan will create chances in this game but i dont see them scoring..Maybe they might have a chance in set pieces.But those deliveries need to be extremely accurate.

Different game different circumstances. The only similarity is the presence of Ibra lol

Barca are favourites but if Milan go in with a positive game they will have a shot.

XAVI WILL START!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Xavi has decided to take the risk and to play tonight. He'll be in the starting line-up.

how do you know that?

Pep leaking wrong info to the press.

So hardcore.

AC Milan I bow down to you.

Xavi starting just means not a 100% fit player that can't do everything he is capable of, or Pep is deceiving us and Xavi was never hurt :vagi:

Barcelona XI: 11 Barca Valdes, Alves, Pique, Masche, Puyol; Busi, Xavi, Cesc; Cuenca, Messi y Iniesta


Iniesta on the wing

Asexis riding the bench... Cuenca is good for width.

9 players from La Masia start tonight.


AC Milan: Abbiati - Mexès, Nesta, Abate, Antonini - Seedorf, Nocerino, Ambrosini, Boateng - Ibrahimović, Robinho

Abate is back as expected, Robinho starts

damn it cuenca.......i wanted pedro or sanchez


cesc

IBRACADABRA

i think milan have to take advantage of either the first 10 mins, take care not to concede , and try to score before barca get into their stride
or possibly in etween 45 to 65 mins, when barca would be trying to bury the tie and would get complacent. its very possible that in the last 20 mins barca just keep possession and try to see the game out so ..

plus they have the luxury of conceding one goal, even if they concede one it wont harm their chances, presumably because they are going out with the mentality of scoring one and not just relying on penalties

get innnn cesc is back

Lost lamb in midfield

Means Ineista to wings again YESS

Lolbregas i love U

I have $200 on Milan going through.

Mexes gifting a goal to Mehssi.

Barca riding their luck as usual. Both lucky goals.

sorry but a red card coming too milan

this always happens when barca feel threatned, arsenal got the same treatment, inter too but they managed through it, now its yours

UEFA

lol, two penalties, they better score another one just in case Milan score another goal.
