Well very disappointing, first live game I've got to see this season. (IMG:

It was probably the best game we've played all season till the point in which we conceded. We looked very solid all around the ground. We didn't create alot but what we created were as good a chance as you possibly could create. Defensively we stopped bayern create anything or control the game in any sense.
Both goals were very soft. First goal, unfortunately was the only mistake from an otherwise perfect game from nesta. Played such a great game, commanded the backline but his one lapse in concentration cost us a goal. And the second goal I think was cruz who climbed all over nesta and gattuso. No idea how no foul was called since he took both players out of the play.
We definitely should have taken our chances though, lets face it when you get to this stage its those moments that define who goes through. Gila and kaka' should definitely have scored in my opinion. However gila made up for it with a clinical lob which was wrongly given as offside. Once again uefa f@cked over milan with a woeful decision. Regarding the kaka' penalties first one was definitely a penalty in my opinion and obviously the second one was a terrible decision. Bayern fans are obviously going to whinge about that penalty, but that offside decision is probably going to cost us advancing to the last four. Especially now with no gila for the 2nd leg.
I wouldn't say were out of the competition as many have already. We seem to struggle when we play teams with a first leg lead. So at least this way we have to press for the result but obviously we could get done on the counter. Our striking options are also very limited which definitely won't help the cause. I think we just have to roll the dice on playing oli and pippo together. Can't play this one striker sh@t cause it'll make it hard for kaka' again.
Milan are due to pull something out of the hat and I'm just hoping its this game that its meant for. I'll go with a 2-1 away win to us, so fingers crossed. (IMG:
