The Bird Nest stadium in Beijing, China, is not a lucky ground for Inter Milan. A couple of
seasons ago Inter lost to Lazio here and on Saturday they lost 2-1 to bitter rivals AC Milan in the
Italian Super Cup final
Starting the game in a pretty new modified 3-5-1-1 system, the Nerazzurri, lead by Gianpiero
Gasperini managed to play much better in the first half as their extra midfield players simply
crowded out Milan's who only played three man in the vital area.

The way which Tottenham have gone about their business in the Champions League is wonderful.
Instead of watching a lifeless match at the San Siro, we got to see Tottenham win away from home in
their fearless and adventurous style.
While the final score was 1-0, Tottenham were continuously working the ball in from the flanks,
exploiting AC Milan's weak fullbacks.
Anyone who knows anything about me and my football knows that I love me my keepers. My precious
Abbiati has been plagued by injuries and other misfortunes throughout his career, but as
statistically the best keeper in Serie A this season, the world is finally seeing him for who he
has always been.
FC Barcelona for the second time in four days failed to kill off a game which they dominated,
and ended sharing points in the first match of Champions League this season. AC Milan took a shock
lead within 25 second of start through Pato. Barca over turned it from through goals from Pedro and
Villa, but then in the dying moments Thiago Silva equalised from the corner for AC Milan.
Max Allegri has chosen twenty players for tonight's mouth-watering clash with Barcelona. Clarence
Seedorf, who was an injury doubt, is included while Philippe Mexes is not as he is still recovering
from wrist surgery. Alexandre Pato is set to make his first appearance in the Champions League
since the opening fixture against Barcelona.
