UEFA Champions League 2011/12

Especially since Milan are not in the top 58 teams in the world :lol:

Meh! according to this they're ahead of Barca :lol: http://www.worldclubrankings.com/

I can't say I'm thrilled about a draw, but considering we didn't conceed any goals at Milans home, it's something to be optimistic about. We'll be in deep trouble though if they can put some past Valdes in Camp Nou

Milan's good enough to get a score draw in Spain. They've already done so this season.

I know, that's what's worrying!

well the second leg wont be a draw, they'll just keep playing

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Not if it's a score draw

 

[Bulldog Force]

I'm sure there will be some goals scored in ordinary time. We'll have to be at our best though.

 

[pennywisealfie]

hate that result, milan looked very capable of creating chances against us as well. I'm worried.

 

[Tommy Smith]

I wouldn't be worried one bit. Look what Arsenal did to Milan.

And given that the league title is now out of reach seeing as Real Madrid have dropped about 4 points (3 to Barca) since October, the Champions League is Barca's only focus.

Messi will tear them a new one at the Nou Camp. I just can't possibly see another team getting so much as a score draw against them in such a crucial Champions League match on that pitch in front of that crowd.

 

[Twizzle]

I saw what Arsenal did to them, they got beaten.

While they have Ibra they are a chance but if was a betting man I wouldn't waste my money.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Did you notice the half strength team that Milan put out?

Madrid have dropped 4 points in the last fortnight. Contrary to what Guardiola is saying, the Treble is still a real possibility. (In fact it would be a sextuple)

Hopefully the ref will be stronger than the usual guff you get at Barca.

I predict at least 5 rolling aroud the floor face grabs by biscuits leading to a sending of for a Milan player.

Based on what I saw last night, I think Barca will comfortably win the second leg. The match reminded me of the one's Napoli had hosted, it was such a hostile atmoshpere that all the 50/50 calls were going Milan's way (they had at least one decent penalty shout that the ref was too chicken to give). It will be a much different story at Camp Nou.

I'll be taking Barca to win with a 0-1 start to Milan, if the price is right...


Looking forward to Schalke/Athletic Bilbao tonight. Huntelaar AND Llorente on the same pitch = potentially a lot of goals...

Yeah my apologies. Minus the loss to Barcelona they've dropped 4 out of a possible 72 points dating back to late September.

Arsenal pasted Milan in London. Different tie, different match; but given that Barca are 5x the team Arsenal are i dont think Milan will seriously challenge.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Milan also sent out a weakened team & Milan thought the tie was already won the players who were out there got ambushed because they took the tie lightly.

Milan will send their strongest squad and their players will be focused in Barca. Barca still have the ability to thrash Milan 3-0 but the Arsenlol game is no guide.

 

[langpark]

Raul and Llorente already on the scorecard. I'll pretty much be happy no matter what happens from here on in...

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Lol @ S04. Athletic are something else. Their team will get ravaged in the summer

Not if they can make the UCL. That might be enough to entice the players to stay for one more season.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Hope so, they could do some damage in the CL but their coefficient would see them possibly in a group with say Barca & Milan which would be tough. They're great to watch
