Agree. Stam was the more spectacular, as stoppers always are, but Nesta was the sweeper holding the backline together.

I'm not happy with what's being done to Maldini, though. He's no longer a leftback, he's made it clear over the past couple of years that he considers himself a central defender. He's being shunted to the side, literally, because of Stam's arrival. I don't think he deserves to be treated like this after so many years of fantastic service to Milan.

The obvious solution is to have a three-man defense (then maybe it won't matter quite so much when Cafu is caught up the pitch all the time ), but I don't think Ancelotti will ever accept that.

AC MILAN 1 - 0 FC Barcelona

FORZA MILAN

Milan, despite not being in top form, won against a previously unbeaten Barca side that was very much razor sharp.

We can only take this as a sign that not only are we a team of skillfull players, but a team of players with a great desire to achieve.

We played with great collective intelligence, each player playing for the other, and while some players had better games than others, IMO the entire team did their best, and limited Barca to two shots off the woodwork...Dida wasnt troubled overmuch beyond those two attempts.

The second half was not as good as the first, but Acelotti had made it obvious that we would settle for the one goal, and we didnt allow them much, though we could have presented more of a threat on the counter.

All in all, I am satisfied with our performance, and look forward to the demolition of Inter on Sunday!

Well, my post match comments are pretty much the same as after Calgliari other than we have improved again.

I think that we need to work on balls put a little wide better as both times Barca hit the bar, both were very similar situations.

Anyway, we did well and lets see it continue.

FORZA SHEVA!

FORZA MILAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good result !

Against three attackers, our Full backs (Maldini and cafu') should play more patient and dicipline, and i saw Maldini was suffering bcoz seedorf was kinda lazy to close down Eto'o and Belletti penetration in our left side, especially Belletti, he was unchallenged and freely to deliver dangerous Crosses :sad:, in Camp Nou, this is can not happen again !

I could not find a tv station to see the game. I was flipping the satellite channels ( over 500 channels) until some how i found an italian channel that showed the game

I saw the 2nd half.

Good game but more important excellent results.

all menacing situations in our penalty box were made by Dinho&Larsson..... Belletti has done several great passes but nothing else......

Nesta - brilliant beside one mistake against Larsson
Maldini - the reson for Barca putting in numeroud crosses from the right hand side all night long - in fact Beletti was their best player[/quote]



What ? Did we see different matches ?
If there weren't the mistakes, I would have sworn that Nesta was on the bench !

And Maldini worked for two !!!!

For Christ's sake guys - they both had a very good game. Nesta was very stable and I can't remember a mistake he made - there were some tough moments at the back for him but it was mostly because Cafu' was caught in NML and Nesta had to deal with two Barca plaers at the same time. Apart from that he was very very solid. As for Maldini, he also had a very good game and ran a lot. He took Eto'o out of the game but he did seem to go a bit too close to the center and on a couple of occasions he left the man on the left uncovered - 1) Belletti got a shot at goal and 2) Iniesta hit the bar. Maldini seemed to had forgotten that he was being played at left back and not CD. However, I can't blame him or any other player for this for he has played for quite some time in CD and it is not easy to shift your way of thinking and reacting overnight.
This being said, I think Stam was immense and formidable at the back.
