After the first game against Arsenal:

I am optimistic that Milan will play better inside and we will qualify in an easy or diificult wasy...

Although the result turned out pretty well, we have to realize that luck had a lot to do with it. I was in class for the first half but came back to watch the full second half and Arsenal dominated the whole game. Milan had little to no chance at a goal while Arsenal made a few poor decisions that could've turned into goals for them, not to mention that last second header by Adebayor.

This brings out the question, can Milan really beat a better team even if they do play at home? Kaka was shut down, as was Pato, Gilardino is his usual useless self, where are we going to find at least one goal to secure the victory? Let's not forget that Arsenal will still advance as long as they don't lose and score. They didn't get everything out of their home game but they certainly have a pretty good chance at knocking off Milan.

Funny how you term Kaka and Pato being shut down while Gilardino, who played only for 8 minutes and managed a header for goal, is considered as useless self lol. Don't you think this is just a bit disgusting?

Your points are all valid, and everything is still up in the air! Roma beat Man U 2-1 at home, then we all knew what happened. Football, especially UCL, is that unpredictable...

Well, what I am trying to say is that Gilardino is no Shevchenko. He can't be counted on as being the difference maker and the cold blooded finisher who doesn't need much to take care of our opponents. That's why he is always on the bench when we play championship games. He is a new age Fernando Morientes. Scores in bunches for stretches and then disappears for a very long time.

When we're talking about CL we play great in our home , IMO the game would have the three options which are writen in poll only if Arsenal could win the first leg match . We are a much more experienced team and if we play a game like against Man.U last year they really don't have a chance .. so i'm very optimistic .

This is where we have the upper hand, we have the expirience we will keep our heads where as Arsenal could lose faith if its not going right for them, lets get all the Milanisti into the San Siro lets make some noise it could be quite unnerving for arsenal, lets rest Pirlo,Kaka,Pato and Seedorf on Sunday lets get them frsh and we have every chance, just look there defence isnt that good theres only Gallas that is anywhere near good enough fir the CL, we put the pressure on the mistakes will form. Have Faith Carletto knows what hes doing

The noise will be unbelievable. Last year versus United the San Siro was about to fall down. I think the support will dramatically affect Arsenal game. They will be tough, i'm sure. But won't play panache as they did at Emirates. We'll be totally fired up by the atmosphere and everyone will give their best.

If Kakà, Seedorf, Pirlo and Pato, who all didn't mark the game at Emirates, will play at 50% of their potential, i think Arsenal will have problems.

I'm confident. We have to win a home game. As simple as that. I can see their defenders making mistakes at San Siro, where keeping a cool head will be more difficult than at the Emirates.

Although a 0-0 away draw is a very tricky result, I am 100% sure that Milan will qualify, IMO Arsenal were less than just average in London, I am saying this because holding and controling the ball without creating dangerous chances at home is not exactly what I can call impressive, indeed its the only difference between champions and the others, Milan will look entirly different at home like always, remember that Milan looked bad in all the away CL games this year and the match against Arsenal is not exception.
We will when, we will qualify and won't go for extra time like last year against Celtic, and will not struggle like what had happened aganist Lyon in 2006 aall what we need is to beleive in our selves and our team and even our coach that I don't trust him in Seria A but have all confidence in CL, just rest our Key players the match and we are ready to go.
