UCL QF 2nd Leg: Bayern Munich-AC Milan

guys i dont want to blame the first game on dida..we should never always scope out one player...and ppl say dida used to be good...well duhh...wudnt u be good if u were younger and everyone thought u were best GK in da world? but this is y football is a team sport...a player doesnt get blamed for da loss becasue it doesnt effect dat player...it effects the whole team...so yea...

we will win ...i have hope in pippo...MILANO SIAMO NOI!!! and of course kaka

It's too bad we can't score on the road in the CL. Our last four matches in the knockout stage and beyond (Bayern last year, Lyon, Barca, and recently Celtic), we've scored once (1-1 draw at Munich), and had three goalless draws. That doesn't bode well for Wednesday.

Like Tony said, that's because we don't require a win at away. But now that we do...

really? we had to win the match at Camp Nou last season but it was a draw and we were out. Now we also have to win ...

could have been very different seen as Sheva had one dissallowed.

Boriello is a cup-tied? Anyone knows?

MILAN SQUAD FOR BAYERN
4/9/2007

Borriello was taken off the UCL squad list after his drug ban, I think.

no, he is not cup-tied but, as NAMMY said, he was taken off that CL A list after his doping issues to make space for Storari and Oddo (even with Boriello on that list, Milan had 24 players in their A list when UEFA regulations allow for 25 players).

Still not sure why Aubameyang wasn't included in the squad ... the regulations seem to allow him to take part in this game but for some reason he isn't in the squad and I would expect that if Carlo could use him, he'd have done so.

Aha, thanks Zlat.
It's 25 Zlat. We have 4 goalies for CL (from uefa.com), I just checked it.

As far as I know, Ancelotti didnt use primavera players in CL even we lacked of players in certain postition except the matches in group in which the Milan had already qualified. I think Ancelotti is already accustomed with 2 strikers left in squad list. He had such experience with Milan in couple years ago.

But what makes me worried is that Inzaghi still has problem with his foot (what Ancelotti said that Inzaghi is not in his best form). I dont know if Ancelotti will use Izaghi or Oliviera but I prefer Oliviera. Inzaghi can play in the 2nd. half and I really hope Oli can do his best in this match.

i think carlo has made a big mistake only including 2 strikers in the squad especially with super pippo being a doubt.

With Inzaghi doubtful, i guess it's all on Oliveira.

We really should have included Aubameyang, it seems a bit of a mistake to leave yourself with 2 strikers (one not 100% fit) and include 11 defenders. Costacurta isn't needed, Aubameyang should have taken his place. Why the need for 6 CBs?

So who do we have supporting Oliveira? Kaka obviously but then it's 1 from Seedorf or Gourcuff. Given Gourcuff's workrate i think it might be better for him to be in midfield and Seedorf to be further forward, plus Clarence is possibly the bigger goal threat with his drives although it's been a while since he last scored.

That doesn't leave us with alot of attacking options on the bench either, just Serginho, Cafu and possibly Inzaghi.

i just cant see ancelotti playing seedorf kaka and gourcuff. he will undoubetdly play ambro gattuso and pirlo with seedorf and kaka supporting the lone striker whoever that may be.

U kno Carlo will prob play Serginho as a forward...that is why IMO he didnt call any primavera players up.

I am still quite nervous, despite the wonderful game we played on Sat...going to Munich to play for a win, will put us under tremendous pressure...I am still not too optimistic for this match, and prob wont watch it either...but

FORZA MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILAN!

Regardless.

bayern havent lost a home CL game for about 3 years which doesnt fill me with confidence although we can always hope for a 3-3 draw
