This is really surprising! Perhaps a defensive proneness in Barcelona's right defender?

I think Milan shouldn't try too hard tonight. Both teams have qualified really. They should rest players, I think. Top spot in the group is not important, as all teams who qualify for knock-outs are tough as each other.

I watch the entire game and allthough Milan were lucky to escape two balls hitting the woodwork, we too had very good chanses. Barca fans will argue that they controlled the game, but tent to forget that Milan only started to play more conservatively after scoring.

Barca will likely have most of the ball possesion tonight and Milan will counter attack, a strategy that suits us well on a large pitch like Nou Camp and against a team who attacks with 6+ players.

Unfortunately that will also be true for Ronaldinho. Sheva has the advantage though, he scored in the first game and has scored against Barca at Nou Camp before. And Ronnie will have Rino's teeth around his ankles all night

I always ask this same question, but where could I watch this match on internet? I'd like see this match, but here in Finland they don't show us Tuesday matches.

I also think that Serginho is the tonight's keyplayer. He has played good lately(or I am just confused, because I watched 0-6 derby yesterday

)

Forza Milan!!!!

Oh boys, yesterday I saw the famous Milan - Barcelona game on Eurosport.
Ten years ago in Athene, do you remember ?
Milan just "killed" them - 4:0
All those guys from then....Boban, Savicevic, George Weah, Desailly.......
wonderful to see them again - I wish I could turn back time !
But I'm a firm believer that Milan can do it again!
I believe that they are gonna win tonight !!!!

"GAZZETTA DELLO SPORT: BARCELONA-MILAN PROBABLE LINEUPS
02 November 2004 10:26

MILAN: Dida; Cafu, Nesta, Maldini, Kaladze; Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini; Serginho, Kaka; Shevchenko.

BARCELONA: Valdes; Belletti, Puyol, Oleguer, Van Bronckhorst; Deco, Marquez, Xavi; Giuly, Eto’o, Ronaldinho."

BG1 · 02-11-2004, 13:54

Interesting lineup, so Kaka will play with Sheva upfront with Pirlo behind them?

--------- Sheva - Kaka --------------

------------- Pirlo ------------

Serginho - Ambrosini - Gattuso

or will it be a simple 4-4-2?

Just noticed that too, until last week I am pretty sure they had our game listed though. Seems they will show it on tape delay at midnight or something,TSN

About the game itself, wide defensive cover will be key, smart midfield possession as in every game.

Henrik · 02-11-2004, 13:56

Straight 4-4-2 is my guess, with Pirlo slightly behind the other midfielders and Kaka slightly behind Sheva. Interesting game to try a new formation in. I don't like it much.

ACMILAN1983 · 02-11-2004, 14:31

Could be a 5 man midfield in this match or the 4-4-2. Personally, I would expect the 5 man midfield to harass the Barca midfield in the match.

Anyway I gotta go to Wing Chun so I'll miss the match, so lets hope I'll have a good result to get back to!!

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

Will anyone be using the irc chat room while the game is on ? Otherwise it's pretty pointless Rezag and pjc going to all that trouble to put it on there
