He really should have scored that 1on1 - shame really. Quiet game and quieter it will get at Camp Nou.

Yep, fluffed the shot, really should have scored. That said, he did very well from the limited chances that he got to set others up imo. But he's insanely lazy when it comes to his defensive duties. I remember him stretching his arms once when Pique next to him had the ball. Berba looks a proper workhorse when compared to him,

He played a fabulous pass to the milan substitute... Em?? that would have put him clean threw on goal but he fluffed his first touch and lost the chance.

The time where he did Pique i was really hoping he would have a crack at goal but he fluffed his pass. Dissapointing, he did a lot well but then i would say the same for his performance against United at Old Trafford but he didnt take his chance. If he gets one at the Nou Camp he has to take it.

I flipped when he controlled that pass so horribly. Robinho wouldn't have done much better these days though...
that's the one! How could i forget Urby as a first name!

Same here, i wasn't actually supporting either team but i was leaning towards Milan if i'm honest. They played better than a lot of teams do against Barcelona, i was enjoying their quick breaks and they do look a threat up front. Just a shame they could make that break through.

It was absolutely awful, looked like a Conference player there. I don't know how good he is but he was very unconvincing yesterday. Even worse was Mesbah when he came on, how does he keep getting games for a Milan side?

they have a lot of players out to be fair. It wasn't exactly full strength, i still get great pleasure in watching Seedorf though! And it's probably the best i've ever seen Ambrosini play. Ordinarily i slate him. Robinho was a waste of space, the El sharabewabe guy looked more lively than him.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has reportedly made up his mind and is keen to leave Milan to go and play for Manchester City in the Premier League.

Fantastic player, but surely they should be looking to spend their money on other players when they got Aguero, Tevez, Balotelli and Dzeko? Will be interesting to see how much money they are gonna spend in the summer.

Money + Balotelli/Tevez for Ibra if they want him.

Dzeko will definitely leave. The other three, it is hard to say but I won't be surprised if all three of Aguero, Tevez and Balotelli are still there next season. If City do want Ibrahimovic, then Milan will probably want either Tevez or Balotelli as part of the deal. I don't think City need him to be honest. A few seasons ago maybe but now? No.

All three of those have been linked away. It would be interesting to see what Ibrahimovic could do in England. City's Berbatov.

Seems like our competitors are slowly building their ranks back up. Arsenal, based on their two "signings" so far seem capable of bouncing back in a big way.

Ibra would do fine in England, the defending has been a shambles recently. He'd muller all the cannon fodder.
Yup, whether City actually want him though is another thing. Can see Tevez or Balotelli going to Milan and Ibra coming the other way, maybe. It's rare such deals occur though.

Any man with a nose like that hasn't been in many brawls. Would probably look great busting Tae Kwondo moves in front of the mirror but a kick in the balls would have him crying like a girl.

Of course, I'd be the bloke on the sidelines giving moral support to whoever takes him on.

If I remember the Balotelli story correctly (told by Materazzi? I think), Balotelli ended up hiding in the jacks from him.

There is a decent chance I've made this up in for some reason.

I can see this happening. Infact I can see Milan getting both Tevez + Balotelli + some cash for Zlatan

Not that scaring Balotelli makes you hard or anything....

But some googling has shown me that I have the story wrong anyway.

Actually Zlatan had it tough growing up. His parents were immigrants in a very racist part of Sweden. He says he motivates himself by having people against him because that's how it was like for him growing up.

Can't picture Ibrahimovic not playing in Serie A. I've even airbrushed his time at Barca out of my memory. He's like an actor that's been typecast.

Galliani said they are desperate to sign Tevez, so that could be it. Dzeko might go on loan there too.

Raiola is saying that evrything is fine between ibrahimovic and milan.
Knowing Raiola, the opposite must be true. I dont believe a word he says.
