I wouldn't be too harsh on Milan if we fail to leave a more memorable trace in this year's CL given all the problems we've had with penalties, lack of transfers and injuries that have been depleting the team all season long.
But I must say that the more this CL progresses, the more I start thinking that our chances of reaching the final are getting better and better given that none of the teams left in it show the consistency in class that is necessary to be considered a clear favourite ... at the same time we seem to have finally found some consistency in our play and the return from injuries of players like Nesta, Serginho, and Ambro would make things a little easier for the team.
With teams like Lyon, Barca, Inter and one of Bayern and Real out for sure, and a severely under-performing Chelsea team (given the star-squad they have), and the poor form of big teams like real M and Bayern, and the not-so-frightening form of ManU, and the unpredictability (read inconsistency) of Liverpool, Valencia, Arsenal, and PSV, all of whom can beat anyone but more often can lose to anyone too ... I guess Roma is the most dangerous team of them all, I think.
Roma are pretty safe for 2nd place in Serie A and will be able to fully concentrate on the CL ... and this is when Roma is dangerous - while they may not have a squad deep enough for fighting on two fronts or a long-lasting competition like Serie A, their starting 11 isn't inferior to anyone out there and when they devote their efforts on CL alone, they will mean trouble.
