0-0 still leaves everything open, for AJAX it is not a bad result, cause Milan now has to make the game in San Siro, not AJAX.
AJAX played very good, dominated the game, except for the first 10 minutes, when they were very nervous, like in every CL match. After that, AJAX played better and didn't give away a chance to Milan. In the first half AJAX didn't create anything either, the teams were very close. In the 2nd half AJAX really got the advantage, sometimes Milan couldn't get of their own half. AJAX created one big chance, which maybe should've been scored by Pienaar, and also a few smaller chances. In the 2nd half Milan didn't create anything until about the 80th minute. In the last 15 minutes, the match was dead, they were both satisfied with the 0-0. Before that, AJAX dominated, but didn't make a goal AJAX's man of the match was definitely Yakubu, I'm always afraid he gets a red card if he plays, but wednesday he was outstanding and didn't even get yellow He was the MotM, followed by Trabelsi, who was great AGAIN!

For the match in Milan I expect Milan to put big pressure on AJAX in the beginning. That's the most important part of the match. If Milan scores an early goal, I think it's over for us, but if Milan doesn't score, AJAX will get better in the match eventually and AJAX's chances will grow minute by minute..
