the Uefa Champians League 2009/10 (27)
rossidanny: I think that they gave the weaker sides the easiest teams to give them a chance. like:
Sevilla - CSKA Moscow
Olimpiakos - Bordeaux
Sevilla - CSKA Moscow
Olimpiakos - Bordeaux
In the quarter finals I bet a lot of the big teams will be hoping to face the winners from these 2 games.
Bordeaux are a team not to be trusted. They came first in their group and they had teams like Bayern Munich & Juventus. Also Seville can be a hard squad to beat, especially if they pass and they find a spanish team in the next draw. Also Real Madrid's draw is not that easy as itseems because Lyon had always created surprises especially when they play home.
It's true AC Milan are not the same squad of 2007, but neither Man Utd are. In 2007 Man Utd were also clear favorites to go to the final but the 2 goals from Kaka at the Old Trafford and then the game in the San Siro, which until today it's still called the Perfect Game made Milan to the final and win the cup. For sure a great advantage for Man Utd this year is the great experience of Sir Alex Ferguson against the unexperienced of Leonardo as coach in this kind of games. But as both team officials said yesterday after the fixtures, even if both teams are not that strong compared to the likes of Barcellona, Chelsea and Real, it's still a game between 2 of Europes's finest which between them won 10 Champions Cups/Leagues and several domestic and international cups.

Hi mate, I think you've made some very good points here.
Re-the Milan vs Man Utd game, history favours Milan, and it will be interesting to see how both teams manage to adapt their game since both lost their star player during the last transfer window (Kaka & C. Ronaldo).
On the tactical level, I think United have the advantage as Alex Ferguson is vastly more experienced that Leonardo(who even with the recent run of good results, still has to convince that he's a coach worthy of Milan), and so is more likely to come up with a surprise on the day. Re-the loss of the star players, I see Rooney has upped his game a lot this year, while Pato, while a great player with huge potential, still needs a year or 2 of extra experience to finally explode.
Ac Milan 2 - Manchester United 3, what a result.
United have the advantage in the second leg, thanks to Wayne Rooney!!
