Although a draw would be a respectable result, I cant see it much more than a 'saving our face' exercise. If we draw and sit back i will be very dissapointed as its likely they ll win the last game as well, so we ve gotta really give this one a shot and hope for a memorable victory.
FORZA MILAN |

I have to agree. No point in just accepting 2nd place and not going for it. Even if we lose, so what? We still finish 2nd, but at least we tried and didn't roll over like some bad La Liga team.

And one more thing - we still are Milan - meaning we ain't the worlds most accomplished team, but we also ain't a Croatian second division team. It isn't that impossible for us to win Barcelona if you ask me.

It isn't that impossible for us to win Barcelona if you ask me. With a group effort in defense and some individual magic up front from Robi/Pato/ibra we can beat anyone on our day as well. That being said, Barca is the best in the world ATM and have much more going for them going into this match. |

QUOTE “Experiencing these evenings is the dream for everyone,” cites the Rossoneri Coach, who admits Barcelona go into the match as “the strongest team in the world.
“We must try to win by playing well and making the most of the opportunities that we create, also because in Barcelona in the first 20 minutes we had several.” Allegri detailed how he anticipates facing and trying to beat Barcelona, a team renowned for high possession statistics in games. “They are hard to play against because they are technical and can vary the pace of the game, they are good at speeding it up and slowing it down. “It will take a lot of balance, we cannot be impatient and will need to play a little higher on the pitch to make sure that Barcelona has less possession.” The Coach has seen his squad’s injury crisis lessen in recent weeks, with Alexandre Pato’s return against Fiorentina at the weekend presenting a selection decision in attack. Pato netted a first-minute opening goal at the Camp Nou in the reverse fixture in mid-September. “There are no major doubts. I have to decide who will play between Pato and Robinho and in midfield I will assess in the afternoon the condition of [Clarence] Seedorf and in defence [Gianluca] Zambrotta will return.” Allegri also reflected on seeing Antonio Cassano return to the club’s training base yesterday, just 17 days after undergoing heart surgery. “It was a pleasure to see him at Milanello, we hope to have him back in the best condition as soon as possible.” http://www.football-italia.net/node/13087 |

I'll probably watch this game in mute because I can't be bothered to listen to how Messi & Barca are the 'best ever' everytime a 5 yard pass is made.

We might play with a Aqui, MVB, Seedorf, Boateng midfield today and Pato over Robinho.

True, but last conversation I remember with you is that the English commentators are not biased.

I'd go with Nocerino over Aqui. That midfield is a bit too lightweight against Barca. We need the legs in there to cover ground. I think Pato is a good choice for this type of game. He's the only one that can deliver on the big stage out of our strikers |

I'm pretty sure we had a discussion after the Madrid-Spurs game where I said Wilkins was ridiculously biased that night too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) They're definitely biased in favour of Barca though, without a shadow of a doubt. Even when they play English sides it seems to be it won't be the end of the world if they go through, whereas it is with anyone else. |

QUOTE (Jack Bauer @ Nov 23 2011, 02:13 PM) Seedorf over Nocerino? So Barça can walk over us? Good grief! When will Allegri realize that Seedorf is no longer 31 years old, and he can no longer pull performances like against Bayern or United in 2007. He should have already retired by now, yet Allegri wants to play him against the absolute superpower of the world. Whoop-de-fucking-doo! |

The Barca back 4 is pretty poor in my opinion.
