They were certainley not his first goals for Bayern. Actualy he is known for his scoring of important goals in the last minutes. He is the Ambrosini of Bayern. Sometimes he is even used as a striker in the last minutes.

And with the first goals he jumped towards the ball like a girl

Honestly, last night score reminds me of InterMerda's tragedy against Valencia.
InterMerda was held 2-2 at San Siro and then 0-0 at Mestalla to kick them out from CL....

Hope this very similar score...2-2 at San Siro won't repeated a bad story as what InterMerda's was experiencing. All we need is to score 1-0 at the Bay Arena and pass to the Semifinal.
Can we do it?? I am damn sure we could...hope Sergio would be available to make their defense busy to hold him and thus enabling Kaka to play a beautiful game from the center..along with Super Pippo and Oliveira while Gila on suspension for the 2nd yellow.

This coming Saturday will be a very important game against Empoli to leap them from 5th place.

So...let us cross our fingers for our beloved Rossoneri.

wtf.

you people here that b1tch and complain after every loss/draw is soo predictable. did you watch the game? who was the better side? yeah milan had a couple defencive breakdowns...and as disappointing as they are... THEY HAPPEN!!! we arent playing some school team. THEY BEAT REAL MADRID TO GET GET TO US, and we DOMINATED THEM. they capitalized on 2 of the few scoring chances they got.

Now i have only watched milan for 3 yrs now, so maybe some of you are used to running over every team you play, and never loosing...or drawing. But i was more excited watching the first half of this game, almost as good as the the 2nd half of the 1st vs inter game this year. if i was a bayern fan, i wouldnt be upset about penalty's but how badly we were out played.

i dont know how you blame a goalie on a free touch on the back post?... most goalies wouldnt of even been there...

I have faith after watching how much we controlled this game, that a victory at bayern is not only possible, but probable.

KEEP THE FAITH...

Dude.. i totally agree with u on this.. the whole thing u said.. im with u man..
after watching this game.. i can only say 1 thing.. lady luck is not on our side so many times this year.. she will be.. its just a matter of time..

Cometh The hour.. Cometh the Man..
Ricardo Kaka FTW !

It wasn't a very difficult situation
Gila was clearly on side

In situations like this if the referee isn't sure he should give credit to the striker but that bastard didn't

I think we'll play - or at least start the game with 1 striker up front - because we cannot allow Bayern to score more than a goal and for that we'll need a strong midfield to contain their attacks and hit them whenever we can.

My money is on the same midfield that started yesterday to start the game in Munich too ... and I hope that later in the game we could introduce Serginho 'cause that man can open spaces like no other and could be potentially devastating alongside Kaka on the counters, which the game will definitely go to at some point in time, especially if we manage to score a goal and Bayern are forced to push forward.

Also, wouldn't mind having RO start the game as I would like to have Pippo fresh on the pitch for the decisive, second half of the game and Inzaghi doesn't have a full 90 min game in his feet anymore.
Plus RO seems to play better when he starts a game and often looks isolated when he comes on a sub.

And kaka better pick up his game 'cause if we intend to make it thru, we'll need the best of him and not like yesterday - 80-85 min of anonymous football. Same goes for Dida, the defense did have it's fingers in the two Bayern goals but he also looked out of sorts, slow to react and disoriented at times.

I don't think it's mission impossible for us, not at all ... I am sure we are bound to have several good chances to score and will most probably have 1-2 goals at least ... the most important thing, however, would be to keep concentration at the back high all the time and not let them score more than 1 goal, even better if none at all.

A foul's a foul though and in the end it should have been called, especially as in most games we'll see a few calls in similar situations for even less.

I'm just waiting for Ancelotti to openly finger only Dida in the media again for the result.

That's all I have to say. Later.

Dida played fairly poorly last night, but he's not alone to blame for the goals. Ancelotti openly fingered Dida in the past?

We played quite well for much of the match last night, but some issues were clearly highlighted, which is why the criticism is so high. Beating and dominating Real this season is no impressive feat I'm afraid, they're pretty much a joke.

As for Dida, his mistake on the back post was that he hadn't covered the angle. Van Buyten had a good few seconds before shooting and Dida had time to cover (any high level keeper would be expected to get there). Anyway, at that angle the keeper has to always be sure not to let past anything at the near post, as it makes it extremely difficult for the attacker.

I don't really get all the Gila hating here (though I'm not surprised as usual). He had probably two key events during the game. One was the miss in the first half, which quite honestly I think Rensing did brilliantly to save and the second he scored, but was given an incorrect offside and yellow card. He was slaughtered after the Roma match, and last night Kaka had a similar game to Gila against Roma, yet no complaints whatsoever. Ridiculous.

I really hope we beat Bayern, with little more reason than their arrogance is shocking. They weren't impressive in any way last night and yet talk as though they were the better side. This season I've only seen Inter have a similar sort of arrogance, and at least on their part they're backing it up by walking away with the Scudetto.

We were not in referee position's! If he isnt sure why he should give credit to striker? Why not to the defender?

We can win this one people! We just need Serginho and a bit of luck, we can do it for sure! Yesterday it should have been 3-1 wictory for sure, but we failed with fitness. Also, Carlo played Seedorf too much, again. But its not over, we only need to go forward hard in Munchenm, not stay back and defend. FORZA MILAN! No Gila in Garmany, so we can score, hey?

I miss him so much. I agree with Ancelotti that he is one of best fullback in the world. He was not on the bench against Bayer, I wonder why..

Yes to both. Inshallah.

anybody up for a Buffon to Milan campaign?
