I don't think beating Atletico is not doable. It will be a effort, but anyway, we can win this one.

not a bad draw considering what we could have got.. lets hope for the best.

Yeah, it's totally doable. It will just require the best Milan of the season.

The best Milan of the season can take on anybody, really. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) We almost nailed Barcelona last year, had we gone 3 goals up at home and played sensibly at Camp Nou. That was without Kaka and Balotelli. Play to our optimum potential, and we can take on, or at least give all sides a run for their money.

At least with Atletico we won't need luck on our side as much as some of the bigger names. We can beat them on skill alone, if everything (including the coach) comes together on a single wavelength. Should be interesting.

Man City - Barca
Arsenal - Munich

The stand out ties there.

Missed the draw, have to say, I'm satisfied with that.

Yes, The English sides would have been better picks but Atletico would be the 3rd best choice in this case.

Also, with how long it takes for these draws to be played, there's no telling what kind of form we'll be in during February and what type of form Atletico will be in during that time.

As long as we play it smart I think we have good chances of advancing

The thing with being second in the group is that we have to play our first game at home, and that sucks. Because in the remote chance that we win the first leg, we'll get demolished in the second without the shadow of a doubt. Milan 4-0 Arsenal -> Arsenal 3-0 Milan; Milan 2-0 Barça -> Barça 4-0 Milan. That's who we are, and not just Allegri's Milan. Even during Carlo's years we used to win against Deportivo and PSV at home, only to get thrashed in the return leg. Because we care about protecting the result foremost. It's an Italian mentality thing. And because we know this, we get scared and sh*t hits the fan. I cannot remember one time in the last ten years in the CL when we won the first leg at home that we didn't lose in the second leg. Only against Inter this happened, but we were playing against a fellow Italian side, so the mentality was different.

Lucky draw, at least we beat them on experience.

You said it, X-Off.

I think they'll prove to be too good for us.

I have feeling its going to be Real Madrid in the final this year , i just don't see man city as a big enough threat there cl exploits are mediocre thats if they make it out of the group phase which they did do this year...

my prediction is Real Madrid - Bayern finale.

Carlo with his 3rd and Real with their 10th...

He's the man to do it , where the special one could not i'm willing to bet Carlo can. He has Zidane for a nice morale boost and nostalgia to give to the players at Madrid. It always helps having past winners in your back room staff to guide the players that have not been there before.

No doubt he can do it. If not this season, then the next one - that is, given he'll get the chance.

CL list. Out Silvestre and Saponara.
