The Time Is Napoli! Italy's two premier sides went head to head in the peninsula's showcase match
of Week 2. Both the Partenepoi and Rossoneri earned respectable draws against hotly fancied
opposition in Manchester City and Barcelona respectively midweek, were coming into the Sao Paolo
clash with injury concerns.
AVB was quick during pre season to have his say on Fernando Torres and what he believed at the time
was a media obsession with the Spaniard. It seems that after just five games into the season the
obsession with Torres has started again and yesterday Fernando Torres was linked with a move to AC
Milan as part of a swap deal.

The huge game of the group stages is obviously Barca v Milan, and they opened up the group
stages this evening at the Nou Camp. So mere moments before the CL kickoff, I decided to firmly
insert shoe in mouth: "Serie A is about to look pitiful."
Alexandre Pato didn't quite agree, and after only 23 seconds.

BBC Sport Thiago Silva secures draw for AC Milan at Barcelona.
AC Milan showed in 25 seconds tonight at the Nou Camp what Man Utd haven't figured out
in two Champions League Finals, and that is if you attack Barcelona's defense right up the middle,
you will create chances. Brazilian forward Alexandre Pato tore through the the center back
pairing of Mascherano and Brusquets like a knife through butter to give the Italians a 1-0
lead.
Thiago Silva scored Milan's crucial equalizer in Barcelona on Tuesday
Concerns over FC Barcelona's defence continued after the first of this season's UEFA Champions
League matches were played throughout Europe last night.
The defending Spanish and European champions had home advantage in their Group H encounter
against AC Milan but were behind after just 25 seconds with Alexandre Pato scoring the fastest goal

We Milan fans are lucky. Many a night have we been blessed with magical moments in Europe's premier
club competition, the Champions League. The greatest recent memory was the year of 2007. Italian
football was a mess after Calciopoli reshaped and distorted the Serie A as a viably competitive
league. Forget the Azzurri's triumph in [.

Talk of crisis has avoided Milan despite the club sitting in a lowly 16th position. This is because
rather than fingers being pointed at the players or coach Max Allegri for the Champions' poor start
to the campaign, the significant injury crisis has been viewed as the main reason why Milan have so
far failed [.

Juventus might be on top of the Serie A table but it is too early to consider them as serious
contenders before they can register a notable win against one of the elite teams such as Milan or
Napoli. The upcoming fixtures will offer the Bianconeri the perfect opportunity to measure their
improvement and how far they have gone since seeing former captain Antonio Conte take over as
coach.
