It's at the nou camp. Barca will definitely win

'Now I´m aware that Milan were awful away to Arsenal at the Emirates but I think that was simply down the fact that Milan felt the tie was already won having won the first leg 4-0 in Milan.'

--------------------------------

Nah. Allegri had them prepared and spoke of the potential dangers before this game. They lost 3-0 because our players attacked them like their life depended on it. Their defence isn't very good.

Milan grabbed a 2-2 draw last time at the Nou Camp, i can definitely see them getting through

Been talking about this game at work, can't see past a Barca win, they often scrape results away from home in Europe and demolish teams at home.

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised to see them come up with another big win, which is strange at this stage of the competition.

Milan will defend like their lives depend on it.

The longer it remains 0-0 the more desperate Barca will get and leave themselves open to a breakaway goal.

An early goal and it bye bye Milan.

The manager could have spoke until he was blue in the face about his team being prepared but those Milan players must have gone into that second leg against Arsenal thinking that it was all over already.

If Milan´s defence isn´t very good then why did both Arsenal or Barca fail to score at the San Siro?

Milan were very lazy until they went 3-0 down at the Emirates, they suddenly became a brilliantly boring, defensive unit we are used to seeing from Italy.

I can see Milan nicking a score draw and going through.

Superb, because Milan got lucky and their pitch is absolute dog$hite.

Abbiate pulled off some terrific saves to deny rvp and Barca should have had a penalty at the camp nou.

Trust me, this is the same Milan side that got embarrassed by spurs last year. They've just been very lucky.

I don't think Milan will win but they don't need to.

Score draw is enough.

It sets the game up perfectly as Barca will need at least 3 to feel comfortable at any point which means they'll need to go all out attack.

Milan offered little up front at home. The poor pitch inhibited Barcas play.

Seems unlikely that Milan will go through.

Either way i'd have Chelsea as under dogs against Milan or Barca.

WHich might be a positive, nothing to lose attitude often helps.

At least it makes for an interesting game for once, providing Barca don't score in the first 20 minutes that is.

If it gets to half time at 0-0, just watch the likes of Alves, Busquets and Sanchez cheating at every opurtunity.

I remember it was the other way round. Milan ran rings around Spurs at White Hart Lane and were very unlucky not to score.

After that game I remember most people saying how lucky Spurs were to get past Milan.

Here´s a BBC match report of the game at White Hart Lane showing how dominant Milan were:

Milan dominant?

---------------------------------------------------------------

Milan´s 7 shots on target compared to Spurs´s 2 shots on target is a telling stat.

Read the match report. Even the British media had to admit that Milan were the dominant side on the night.

All that domination and not a single goal over 180 minutes........

Don´t worry they made up for it by putting 4 past Arsenal.

I hope Milan do win, I can't stand Barca.

Here´s an extract from the match report:

" Milan, with ageless Dutch master Clarence Seedorf outstanding, laid siege to the Spurs goal in the first half.

Goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes saved from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Pato, while William Gallas kept Milan at bay with a priceless goal-line clearance from Robinho's deflected shot.

The hosts improved after the break but it was still Milan who provided the threat, with Mathieu Flamini and Pato coming desperately close to forcing extra time as the home fans watched the clock counting down with increasing anxiety ".


So yes I think that we can conclude that Milan were very much the dominant side on the night and were unlucky not to score in the game.

Milan were by far the better side against Spurs last season. Spurs played well tactically and nicked the win with the help of some luck.

I fancy Milan to get a score draw or even nick a win if they can keep it tight for the first half or even grab an early goal. If Barca score early I think they'll win with ease.

You know and I know that Barcelona will win tonight. I think that the feeling that you have is a delusion, in the hope that Milan will win as they would be much easier for you then Barcelona would be.
