Milan_Mad...this game may be many things, but a high profile game it is not.
It doesnt matter to Milan if we win this or no...it may, and probably does matter to Lille...but how do you say this is high profile? Because it is in the UCL? As Englandīs most highly regarded ref (by the FA dude, the FA, not Joe Public), UEFA had to give him a game, and, since everyone but the English FA know he is bullocks, they gave him this "useless" game.
Debs...I think u r reading a little too much into this, and allowing your anti-Ancelotti bias to affect your usually astute reasoning...I agree with Zlat...you have bought what the journalists were selling...
Let me ask you this Debs...say you were not an AC Milan fan...would you stop to read an article about Milan and Lille, were the headline to read: "Milan field full strength team, though already through to last 16" ....?
Doubt it...but, the headline is catchy, even for the neutral...since thoretically there is no such thing as a useless win..or useless goals for that matter...but that is another argument entirely.
