UCL QF 2nd Leg: Bayern Munich-AC Milan

Pireloke - love the idea...go out in a blaze of glory!!!

i cant believe all the negative feelings over this game...are away wins that uncommon?

i understand a lot of you dont think players like seedorf/dida/oddo are up to the task, and you might be right about them, however, they are all world class players, capable of stepping it up.

bayern should come out playing for the draw, which they have done in the past, so milan's first goal will probably come a distance (janku/seedorf/kaka), or a tap in rebound (pippo). they then better be ready for an onslaught... and be prepaired/able to play a counter-attack. also you can get into kahn's head, which also can be to our advantage. Milan will go up 2 goals, and conceede 1 late, proving that they must own stock in antacids. as usual a nail biter to the end.

I love ur optimisim icculus!!! (and ur avatar rocks by the way).

Wish I could feel that way...

Ok....forget the last match. Forget the mistakes, forget the missfortune forget how they played. Forget everything. Milan has to play this game like it is the CL final and we are 1 goal down. Just like how Liverpool played the second half in Istanbul. Bayern will be relaxed just like how Milan was in Instnbul after the 1st half. This is where our advantage is. We hit them hard and fast and make them NOT-Relaxed. We have to make them panic. We showed that we are better then them. All we need is ONE goal.....ONE piece of luck.......ONE good play.....ONE mistake from them. Bayern is not unbeatable and certainly Milan is one of the teams that can beat anyone on their day. If we could go to Barcelona last year and score (Shevchenko's wrongly dissolowed goal) and not concede.....then why not the same in Munich. I know that we have no Shevchenko this year, but who cares. We have othe player who are more then capable of score and have proved it in the past. Maybe ONE of those crazy Oli shots will go in past Kahn, we never know. F*(% them.....they are lower then us. It's our time now and we'll scare them sh*tless in their ARENA.
Don't give up now!!!
Forza Milan.....Milan Forever!

finallyyyy someone thinking positively here...come on guys screw khan..he is a legend...but so is our maldini...and sad to say maldini has made some mistakes in the defence...and khan is beatble he is the same guy in da goals as last year..excpet...older...

Am I the only one in the pessimism camp then ?

All I want to see from I Ragazzi on Wednesday is a fight. I don't want defense from minute 1 and hoping for a miracle goal from Pippo. Like Pireloke said, we need to attack from the beginning. If we go down we have to go down fighting. This could be the end of an era. Half the team might be gone next year, including San Paolo and Billy. I want to see 11 Leoni out there. Let's put up a fight in Bavaria. Forza Ragazzi

I believe back in 2002 Pippo scored two goals in Munchen
he is able to repeated once again.

In terms of on-pitch personality, he's one of my favorites. He looks like someone who's capable of cannibalism at any time.

i am sure 100% that oli will scor this time for us. pippo also..1-0 are 2-1 thats all bayern out =) hahaha easy

Away wins are not so uncommon...it all just depends on which team you are playing. Bayern is very strong at home..if we didnt manage to win against them at home, then in Munich we ll have to play twice better (or get lucky) to win the game, or get a satisfying us draw.

I am with you, I guess. However I have hope in Milan...

Yeah, I think he is very capable of that..

I think Oli might score! He hasn't scored his goal for these couple of months yet

It's not going to be easy, but Milan will pull through. If you look at it from a bright angel Nesta is back.

The key to winning this match is playing an offensive tactic.

I read on a dutch football site that Pippo will probably be out with some muscle problems.
Is this true? If it is then we really are in trouble.

yeah, that's a possibility. I don't know if he will miss the game completely, something I doubt, but the official site did mention something about him having fitness issues.
I'd guess he would be on the bench and RO will start the game vs bayern.

good, because having only one fit striker in bad shape would not help us beat bayern.
