One game away from Paris



One game away from Paris
One game away from the CL finals, both teams know it, both teams want it. This is without a doubt the most important game of the season for both these clubs, and after Arsenal made it through against Villarreal in the other leg, it is now upto these two elite teams to decide who the other side of the final will be.

AC Milan are coming into this match off a very costly match to Messina. Eventhough they won 1-3 away from home, three of their players have picked up some heave knocks. Kaka, arguably their most important player, is said to be a doubt after he recieved a knock in the Messina game. The same fate also faces Nesta, who will most likely play, but will not be 100% fit for the match. The third victim was Ambrosini, who according to final reports will miss the rest of the season for Milan.

Barcelona come into this match confident and uplifted. They come into this game rested after some miracle rain halted their La Liga clash with UEFA Cup hopefulls Sevilla. Barca will also regain the services of Ronaldinho and Larsson who were both unavailable for the Sevilla squad. They are still missing Xavi, Messi, and now the third player to be on that injury list is Oleguer who will be out for at least one more week.

It all comes down to this. AC Milan come to the Nou Camp knowing that only a win will do, and this is something that no other team has done in the CL at home to Barca. Barca on the other hand, go into this game with a 0-1 away goal lead thanks to the brilliance of Ronaldinho and Giuly.

The Bookies are favoring Barca, but you can only write off Milan at your own perill, these are the game odds (Bet365):

Barca Win: 1.9:1

Draw: 3.1:1

Milan Win: 4.3:1
