Barca draws Milan

With all due respect to milan, But malaga outclassed them, Who are even less dangerous than atletico to us.

Lesser sides than Milan have caused us problems this season (Celtic, Granada ...). Malaga winning against them is meaningless. Milan will obviously not approach the game the same way against Barcelona as they did against Malaga. Allegri will do what he did last season when we couldn't beat them from open play in 4 games (even with Thiago Silva out injured). He'll park the bus. And in games like that it really doesn't matter how shit they are at playing football since they won't do that anyway against Barcelona. Parking the bus and trying to sneak a goal on a set piece play or counterattack. If Celtic can pull it off, Milan can as well.

I'm just happy that De Jong won't play.

O always find that a little dodgy, doesn't anyone else? Why would we need a new draw? They should just have it set from this one.

If the whole knockout stage was decided now, a team might have an advantage due to the country-, TV- or group-based seedings for second round. By having another draw afterwards, the map is wiped clean

edit: Plus, obviously the revenues from another televised draw

You're right, But i never meant it as an exact science, But it is the closest way to compare the current 'level' of barca and milan, Using malaga as a reference, It's just something to give us a broad idea nothing more.
And i don't think it's right to compare celtic defense to milan's, Celtic's is the same breed as chelsea's, Very tall defenders with huge phyiscal power, And it's one of the reasons why our forwarders had a hard time against these two teams especially, Messi
Another thing, Is Nesta, apart from his stupid mistake that gave us a penalty in camp nou, He did a tremendous job against messi, In san siro, once Allegri substituted him later in the game, I remember messi getting more dangerous!.

Good draw, Barca will make it through but not easily of course !
It's great we avoided some other better sides though !

Honestly I'm a lot more concerned now on how MU will deal with R$al Madrid and go forward expecting the spectacular Shakhatar - Dortmund clash...

Mascherano was a beast in the quarter finals, Both home and away, Definitively his best performance of last season.
I remember the commentators saying "Where in the hell barcelona got this guy" :D

The question is simply: if Milan will not park the bus they will be disintegrated.
If they park the bus, and they are lucky, they have 20% possibilities to beat Barca. :D

They are getting better and they could get players in January. Would rather face Galatasaray :p

Gonna be a tricky one. They definitely have been a step off the pace this season, and are not as strong when we played them last time around. But it will still be a classic. :D
