Barca draws Milan

[CatalinR10]

After this round, their is a completely open draw. That is the last draw, it sets up the brackets the rest of the way. Same as prior years.

Thanks

This is AC Milan :

Abbiati
De Sciglio - Mexes - Yepes (Bonera) - Constant
Montolivo - Ambrosini - Nocerino
K. Boateng
Pazzini(Bojan) - El Shaarawy​

They have not quality....only some good cross by De Sciglio and good counterattack by Boateng and El Shaarawy.

Montolivo is a "small Pirlo"....good player but very discontinuous.

It's lucky teams aren't played on paper eh?

Yepes has done a good job on Messi before for Columbia & Ambrosini has shedloads of experience, i'm confident in these two doing a good job, obviously i expect to lose but i'm not so pessemistic about it.

Seeing Bojan back home will be touching

 

[GiantKiller]

Not really. I'll be looking forward to when he makes a big fuss of not playing against us.

Seeing Bojan back home will be touching

You're expecting him to play?

 

[AURELIUS]

Walkover. Milan are a shadow of themselves.

 

[mitkoa7x]

You're expecting him to play?

Maybe as a sub

This.

Even though they are only a shadow of the Milan we played, which also wasn't that hard of an opponent really, Its still no walkover. Their defence is much less worse than before and El Shaarawy is their main man. Blocking him and playing our way should be enough for us provided that we don't waste most of our goalscoring chances like last year.

 

[Valdivia]

Forgot to add that Milan are most likely going to sign some players this winter mercato. Drogba is supposedly confirmed and they are looking at others like Armero and Nainggolan. So, we shouldn't expect an easy tie.

With all respect....but If Barca have to be afraid of this Milan then is better to withdraw from the CL ...

Only Celtic, Schalke, Galatasaray, maybe Malaga and Porto are lower than Milan.

Good lord I can smell the arrogance in this thread before entering it.

I might talk trash with a couple of the milanisti here, but that's all it is really, some of you are acting like we really are gonna beat them 10-0 on aggregate. When's the last time a team that might be weaker than us on paper was able to beat us? Oh yeah, I think it was last month. "On paper" doesn't mean anything in the CL and everyone knows it. Show some more respect for the competition.

Everyone has a different definition for easy.

Yeah. I mean, when was the last time we trashed anyone in a CL away game?

Milan - Barca: 0-0
Chelsea - Barca: 1-0
Arsenal - Barca: 2-1
Stuttgart - Barca: 1-1
Arsenal - Barca: 2-2
Inter - Barca: 3-1
Olympic Lyon - Barca: 1-1
Bayern - Barca: 1-1
Chelsea - Barca: 1-1

It won't happen. A score draw is fine with me. 2-2 would be nice.

What's the point in saying 'anyone can beat anyone at any time'? Why are you even on a forum if that's your stance? The point is to discuss a match (preferably with good arguments), but anytime a good argument is given for why barca will very likely win all you get is an asinine 'the ball is round' comment (unless I missed something the last few pages, could only read the first few).

Last year we had trouble with a lot of opponents because we couldn't score and couldn't grind out difficult wins. We are doing all these things this year. Not only is Milan weaker, we are stronger; and in games we are not stronger we still grind out the win by hard work and some luck if needed. The odds are overwhelmingly in our favor.
