I loved how we pressed today. Especially the first twenty minutes in Milan couldn't even pass the ball around twice and they were destined to lose the ball at the half line. I almost had an heart attack with that Niang moment though :/

So Arse-GAF, our primary goalkeeper, Szczesny (who's honestly shit) won't be playing tomorrow and Wilshere is injured? I mean I didn't really have that much hope to begin with but this is just too much... :(

Good game Milan fans, I genuinely expected a tougher second leg. You guys were great in the first game and I think the players/tactics really helped us this time.

More proof the team is more fluid with MVP + BIX... not Iniesta on the wing and that fool Cesc taking his spot.

Anyways, Milan are in a rebuilding/young phase, so grabbing second in the league, beating Barca 2-0 and getting out of group stage is a pretty good season imo.

Montolivo was impressive as always, it's a shame for you the others were not close.

Visca El Barcaaaaaaaaaaaa




Hahahahaha. If Cesc isn't involved, I would not mind playing Madrid at all.

Allegri said he didn't expect anything from this season. He wanted a 4th spot on Serie A, nothing else. The team is close to 2nd now.

The very moment I saw Barca was against us, I of course felt it was over.

Maybe next year something will happen.

annoyed how farsa escaped elimination. oh well there is always quarter final exit waiting for farsa.
then again i sorta smile a bit... after all, farsa continued survival gives a chance for madrid to personally escort farsa out of the cl. do try to survive the quarters farsa shrimps.

That Niang attack could have been a game changer. It honestly felt like the match was pretty much over after that. Barca was rarely letting Milan have any chances. Can't believe how good Barca did today compared to the first leg, like two different teams.

Impressive performance by Barcelona, they did very well. If Niang scored that huge opportunity just before Barcelona equalised, Milan would have had a more than promising position with only about one half to go. These were the deciding minutes of the match IMO. Great to see barcelona recovering from the couple of bad results. I would not mind drawing them on friday.

And also...

*lol*

...at Schalke. I've only seen the last couple of minutes, so I can't really comment on that game. But Galatasaray looked soo weak in the first match and seems to be the only team left in the competition that has absolutely no chance to win the trophy. Still, congrats to Gala. I guess there will be a glorious Autokorso in Gelsenkirchen today nonetheless :p

I was actually hoping you guys would win because I felt you deserved it after the improving very much compared to how you were early this season but man....I have no idea what Milan was doing, maybe Barca was simply too good. It will be interesting to see how Milan play next season (if they qualify to CL) with a better integrated Balotelli (hopefully), it should create a more dangerous team at front.

Balotelli won't change everything. The team needs to play more, gain experience and feel comfortable together. To be honest, the start of the season was horrible and I didn't even expected Euro championships for next season, but it seems like the direct spot for UCL is right there, so that's a pretty positive thing.

He won't but from my non-regular observement of Milan since the start of the season I felt that their attack was underwhelming if anything. Shawarma won't be able to do everything by himself, he needs some kind of support or someone to share the ball with. But either way, with Balotelli there they can probably focus on fixing other parts of the team but which is wosre, the midfield or the defense?
