dude man city wouldn't even qualify for next round. They need to beat bayern munich and napoli losing to villareal to qualify ... I don't see any of these happening.
I think we can easily take on the likes of chelsea, man u !

hope G signs some good midfielders before that !

I only said that pertaining to which EPL teams I wouldn't mind seeing. I know they are struggling to even advance in their Group, and I am VERY thankful for that! :lol:

Any other team from the EPL doesn't worry me at all. (Man U., Chelsea, and Arsenal)

we could have easily have won that match had it not been for UBFA Union of Barcelona Football Association with a proper CAM and a LB we could beat them if we meet again in the semis or final :D

Anyone but Madrid and Bayern im happy

Prefer to avoid Man Utd aswell

with our luck we'll surely get on of them ... although i wouldn't mind man u, but let them qualify first :lol:

United is impossible since Benfica has the better chance to win the group and also Chelsea 1st place almost impossible for them, so our opponent will be of: Real, Bayern, Leverkusen, Benfica, Arsenal and Apoel.
just avoid Real and Bayern and we'll be fine!

they are the hardest, but we can definatley beat both of them. Barca, known as the best team in the world barely won against us yesterday with that dive of theirs and V.Bommel own goal. We also drew against at camp nou without the full team. We are a stronger team this year in comparison to last year and i think we actually "with some luck ofc" can win the champions league this year.

If Milan have intentions of winning, I hope to god Braida brings back some sort of bomb from Brazil to complete our midfield.

The biggest problem i saw today was this. Milan played there best 11 in terms of quality (it's questionable wither it should have been pato over robinho or boateng, but eitherway it's irrelevant to my point).... that best 11 featured 5 players 34 or over, and 4 of them playing in same quadrant of field.... LCM, CDM, LB, CB.

Reality is, barca played no players over 34, and only 2 over 30 in the defense (who both showed it).

I'm not one to say 'you can't play... you're too old'

But you can't play that many aging, physically declining players in same area of field. Simply too much ground to cover for aging legs.

If we had a 28 year old van bommel and zambrotta, i doubt our midfield gets as exposed. If we had a 28 year old seedorf and nesta, again less issues. But when all are 34/35 it's an issue v. a team like barca who play wide, move constantly and use entire field. We could have used antonini/taiwo or nocerino but then we lose quality for legs. So that presents another issue.

If our whole team was 5 years younger we would win the CL

Oh wait, we did.

It was a great game, the atmosphere was awesome. Milan have the best fans ever and you can be proud of the team no matter what.

And if I remember correctly, Allegri caught him in the tunnel. Probably tried to stall him and help Ibra :lol:


Pep ran away like a little bald parrot, immediately after the game.

Looked like he was late for a meeting. Very strange. He was almost running.

so proud of milan can't remember the last time I was still happy after we lost.

we attacked barca more then any team has in the last couple of years, this is the milan way, no fear, we play with style with identity and we play to win.

in think milan is finally back to where we belong and that's as one of the top 4 teams in europe only barca, real and possibly bayern are on our level.

I'd put Madrid/Barca/Munich and United above us at the moment.

I don't like playing any EPL clubs as such cos the fast pace with our midfield will kill us.

napoli never had a problem out speeding the best team in the EPL and we could certainly field a fast team.

speed of the EPL is overrated. when we were routinely wiping out EPL teams we were never considered faster then them or fast in general.

I don't know if alot of people will agree with me on this, but I blame Allegri for the loss. The Players played a couragous game, however I wish that I put a bullet in Robino's head for missing a guarenteed goal. What was Allegri thinking of deploying seedorf a 35 year old for the whole 90 minutes. Seedorf played a good first half, but he was our weak link in the second half, he sucked defensively big time!! putting pressure on our defense in the second half. Nocerino should have started the second half, and Allegri should have taken seedorf out when we drew 2-2 putting nocerino to freshen up the midfield. I see its Allegri's fault in this game & we could have atleast ended the game with a draw. A loss at San Siro is so bitter!! :(
