Barcelona - Milan 1.35 - 10.00
Messi, Iniesta, Busquets, Pedro, Pique and J Alba, all started on the bench at the weekend, when Barcelona defeated La Coruna 2-0. Xavi was not even fit to play. Tomorrow they will all return, including Xavi, and Barca will be at full strength for this second leg.
Pazzini, the stand in striker for Balotelli in the first leg, is injured and both will be missing tomorrow. Niang replaced Pazzini late on in the first leg and maybe he will play from the start this time. I do not expect Milan to do much of an attacking job in this game. This could be a one sided affair with Barca totally dominating the ball possession and Milan focusing on their defensive duties. They are after all 2-0 up. Then again I would never rule out a Milan goal scored by, say El Shaarawy and for Barcelona to advance to the quarter final they have to improve drastically. It is difficult, even for a side like Barcelona, to succeed when you are not in your best form.
Milan have the more in form than players, if you know what I mean. They are on a sensational domestic run and looking at their squad I understand absolutely nothing. Questionable looking defence, Muntari playing from the start in the middle, but hey, you cannot knock success. Home winner.
