Re: Barcelona - AC Milan Prediction Thread

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

You could compare mole but it doesn't mean it would be a good comparison.

Better comparison than comparing a 2 legged Semi to a group stage game

[Pedram]

Just a manita

[Vibe]

Desperate Mole is desperate

[Arquitecto]

Will be a bad result for Milan.

Our front and back flank is world class.

Yet it simply is our slow and old midfield that will have Barca win as Barca's midfield is their strongest point. See the co-relation?

3-0 Barca.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Arrogant Mole is Arrogant

Now that i'd gladly admit

3-0 Barca.

Man Utd?

[Grande_Milano]

Realistically, we re gonna lose, as every other team, esp at Camp Nou.

But, we can make it less bad, if Allegri makes some fixes:

Play Cassano as AM
Constant pressing on the field, personally handle Messi and Xavi

[Ganso]

MVB will destroy xaviesta

In that sense, most definitely as although in OT we were riddled with injuries and bad form.

If Pirlo was there, I would've changed my mind as AA doesn't have the experience to do this.

Pirlo on the other hand is legendary against Spanish teams who also hold possession a lot.

[Grande_Milano]

3-1 Barca.

[Yuri Yukuv]

I have a feeling barca this year will be stronger than last

it wil be ugly for berlu

That's all fine and dandy but when you get the ball but where's your playmaker to release Ibra,Pato and Cassano ?

Because unless Aquilani magically turns into Pirlo over night you dont have one and all the pressuring will be useless because you wont be doing anything with the ball once you get it then its pointless unless ofc you want a 0-0 draw.

Milan desperately need a new Kaka and Pirlo to be genuine CL contenders imo, a discussion for another day though.

@Arq

My comment was a response to this.....

Carrick and Giggs are slow and old and Barca just dominated them in the CL because of it, well playing 2 against Barca's supreme 3 didnt help but yh you get it.

[Milano Siamo Noi]

Does it matter if we do lose both legs? Surely we will still progress from the group... Our ambitions are not to be able to beat Barcelona and be champions of Europe again, those are our dreams.

How can Milan, a side who spent 15m euro's net on transfers, compare with clubs who consistently spend 40, 50, 60m euro's on the market? We don't have La Masia, we don't have a sheikh owner but we are Milan.

I have hope, but not much else. I do not expect a win, but what does that matter? Barca are Barca...

[Grande_Milano]

Mole, I didnt say win lol we need to lose gracefully lol

Yeah, an AM and +1 mid have been needed this summer. They got Aquilani.

Montolivo and Kaka/Ganso should be coming in winter, so dont lose hopeon us

[Guest]

5-0... but if we were to loose i hope we loose with some dignity, 1-0 or something like that...

i cant picture the game in my head...

[Albiceleste]

Comprehensive Barcelona 4-0 win.

[Albiceleste]

Barca 4 Milan 0

[Interista809]

The year we were in the same group with Barca we lost 2-0 at the camp nou I would expect something similar.

Some people are going over board with the "barca will trash them" so take down a notch.

[Eivindo]

During the last couple of years, we are getting more and more behind with transfers, only getting free players and rarely a big fish or two. Its sad to see that we have build a game in defense and with forwards, but are still only willing to spend peanuts on midfielders, which has been a problem area in the CL for years now. Even against Tottenham at the San Siro we got completely overrun in the first half with our slow midfield.

Only Superpippo`s magic could save us in a game like this, but he wont join us lol.

At least we are going out with statements about how Barca is the best club in the world, and that it is a great test to see where we are at compared to the champions. So in that sense, we are prepared to lose

[Babun]

I don't think Farca would score more than 4 in first gear. They aren't interested in humiliating AC Milan They'll be like in 3rd gear once they're 3 or 4 up, of course, Messi might want to get better overall stats in CL...

Maybe if Barcelona thrash you guys like Man U did to Arsenal it will motivate your club to buy more/better players

if that would make berlusconi seriously think about investing yes i would want barca to open silvio's eeyes.

with FFP even if milan want to spend, milan will be deprived of high spending anyway. no milan fan has ever asked berlusconi to spend 50-60 millions, every milan fans always wishes the right player make way to our club but, it has never happened for a long time now.

[zarola]

Cassano > Messi

/topic.

[TheRedStag]

I predict a tighter match than most.

I hope Barca play somewhere near their best.

It should be a great encounter, if only it was in the knockout stages.

[Khaled]

I expect Barca to win, but it won't be easy..

btw, what is your lineup predictions? (for both teams)?
=================

- I think Guardiola will rest Xavi against Real Sociedad & play Thiago or Cesc..

- I expect Alexis to play since he knows them from Seria A..

- Don't know if Pique will be fit to play this match, but i think Puyol will..

Valdes
Alves - Puyol - Abidal - Adriano
Xavi - Busquets - Iniesta
Sanchez - Messi - Villa

Pedro & Cesc super subs in 2nd half? or maybe Afellay/Thiago!!

[Mr_Puyol]

Home Barca 3-1 AC
Away Barca 2-2 AC

[chad4401]

ac milan can win but it would have to be a master class in counter attacking, ibra up high, cassano and aquilani could try to play couple balls over the top, that all i got
