Looks like the Serie A will go down to the wire after last night's round of fixtures. Leaders
Juventus were held to a 1-1 home draw thanks thanks to an 85th minute goal from Luis Fernando
Muriel Fruto after Juventus no 1 Gigi Buffon's error.The draw coupled with Milan's 2-0 win over
Atalanta means that the gap between the two rivals was reduced to just 1 point with 2 games left to
play.
"We're going to lose this match," said a Romanista prior to last night's
Juve-Roma meeting at the Juventus stadium. "I know it."
Unfortunately, it wasn't a case of that sinking feeling you get prior to a derby. She was right
about the loss and it wasn't very kind to her either- a 4-0 drubbing of Antonio
Conte's men!
"I don't feel that my job is at risk". These were the words of Max Allegri following his side's
surprise defeat to Fiorentina on Saturday. The loss enabled Juventus – still unbeaten this season
– to leapfrog the Rossoneri into first place. Consequently, and most predictably, the Milan
tactician has come under pressure with his [.
Tonight's Champions League fixture between Barcelona and AC Milan will be the litmus test for
both Pep Guardiola and Massimiliano Allegri as they prepare the team's for what is probably the
biggest game of the season.
Milan captain Ambrosini has revealed that they won't man mark Barca's Argentine forward Lionel
Messi.
Il Catania di Montella, bellissima realt del campionato di Serie A, non smette di stupire e,
nell'anticipo interno di ieri pomeriggio stoppa al Massimino il Milan, dopo aver fermato la scorsa
settimana il Napoli al San Paolo. Finisce 1 a 1, in virtù delle reti di Robinho (su assist di
Ibra), per il vantaggio rossonero,Continua a leggere .
You'd better run for cover and start polishing your Aunt's old wine glasses because history was
made yesterday! For the first time EVER, a polite Zlatan
Ibrahimovic appeared in front of the European press pack. Indeed, even if you attempted
Swedish vulgarities at yesterday's Milan-Barcelona press conference, the part-time Balkan gangster
would've embraced you instead.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice to help Milan to a 2-1 win over AS Roma in the Serie A last
night. The win moves Milan 7 points over Juventus who are due to host Inter Milan in the Derby
d'Italia tonight.
The win comes at a very crucial point for Milan who are preparing to face defending European
champions Barcelona in a Champions League quarter final fixture this Wednesday.
La 29/a giornata del campionato di Serie A si apre, alle 18, con il fascinoso anticipo di San Siro,
tra il Milan di Allegri, campione d'Italia e leader dell'attuale torneo con 60 punti (4 di
vantaggio sulla Juventus di Conte), e la Roma di Luis Enrique, sesta a 44 e in cerca di punti

Juventus snatched a late equaliser to remain unbeaten in all competitions this season and earn a
place in the final of the Coppa Italia after defeat AC Milan 4-3 on aggregate.
Juve took the lead through club legend Alessandro Del Piero in the 28th minute before second
half goals from Djamel Mesbah and Maxi Lopes made it 2-1 on the night and 3-3 on aggregate with
just 9 minutes left to play.
The Spanish club now in the second division knocked the Champions League winners out of the
competition pouring in 4 unanswered goals in the second leg to overcome a 4-1 first leg deficit.
Coruna found four separate goalscorers as Walter Pandiani, Juan Carlos Valeron, Albert Luque, and
Fran Gonzalez dismantled an excellent Milan side.
Ibrahimovic marked his return from his three match suspension by scoring a hat-trick in Milan's
4-0 win over Palermo yesterday. The win coupled with Juve's 1-1 home draw with Chievo pushed the
Rossoneri 4 points clear at the top of the Serie A.
Of course Juve still have a game in hand which should they win will bring them level on points
with Milan, however, the Bianconeri will still remain in second spot because of Milan's superior
goal advantage.
Ah, Fernando Torres set fire to the rain, why don't you? He's the the classic
case of Favourite Footballer To Hate, and it's only going to get worse for poor
tipo over here. You see, Vicente del Bosque has left him
out of Spain's squad for their upcoming friendly against Venezuela on the 29th, opting instead to
go with Valencia's Roberto Soldado.
Talk about a dream debut worthy of a Celebratory Shoulder Jump from
Robinho! That happened to Ghanian striker Sulley Muntari when he
scored in Milan's 3-1 win over Cesena on Sunday afternoon. As the Italians sometimes say...
"Figoooo!
AC Milan easily beat Arsenal 4-0 Wednesday night to give their European title hopes a massive
boost ahead of the return fixture in two weeks time. Arsenal really did not put up any resistance
and after Boateng's stunning strike in the 15th minute, the gunners never really looked in it.
The match also marked the end of club icon Thierry Henry's 2 month loan spell albeit on a sour
note as the striker failed to honour his pre-match promise of gifting club supporters with a
parting goal.
What an exciting and challenging game we can anticipate tonight. A return to the scene of the
European recognition of Fabregas's genius (sorry GM!). That night is etched in the memory
alongside so many other astonishing and unexpected Arsenal victories win this and we may get a
repeat of the TH inspired win in the Bernabeu!
One of the more exciting Round-of-16 Champions League fixtures takes place
tonight... (Thank the sweet Lords!) between Arsenal and AC
Milan at the San Siro. This is the type of match you'd wait two months for, although
statistically speaking, Arsenal have done better in their last last six visits to Italy (they won
four).
The Champions League is back and it's returned with a special fixture. Milan V Arsenal is
arguably the cream of the second round ties. Aging giants in the process of transforming themselves
to prove they aren't just heroes from the past meet a resurgent, fairly youthful side that is still
looking to make its mark at the highest level.
Can you imagine running against someone twice your age Alex?
Here we go again. Champions League football is back (yeah, it was back yesterday but those were
not my team) tonight. A meeting against AC Milan is one to drool over. 7 times champions of Europe,
a real giant of world football. It's a glamorous tie and this is what we're in this competition
for.
Good news for Coach Allegri and Milan fans as Alessandro Nesta, Kevin Prince Boateng and Alexa
Pato all resumed training today ahead of their Champions League first leg knockout match against
Arsenal on Wednesday.
With both teams coming off late winners in their weekend league fixtures, it will be interesting
to see how they both approach the game.
I titoli sulle testate italiane si sprecano: da Super Milan a Milanissimo è facile in questi
giorni apostrofare con tinte entusiaste la marcia in Serie A del Milan di Allegri che non perde un
secondo per tenere il passo della capolista, la Juve di Conte. Si, forse quel punto che separa i
rossoneri dalla signora,Continua a leggere .
Swedish international and AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been named Serie's A's best
player for 2011. This comes as no surprise bearing the season he had with the Rossoneri.
The annual award ceremony which was held in Milan, is voted for by Serie A players and
recognises the best player, best coach, best club and the best referee.
It has been an odd week for Milan. From the low that last Sunday's derby loss sank us to, the
club's fortunes rose steadily from one day to the next ending in triumphant fashion with a
convincing 3-0 win over Novara. The loss to the ‘Tinkerman's' Nerazzurri posed serious questions
over Max Allegri's men, from [.
Tra poco più di un'ora San Siro sar teatro di Milan-Inter, derby della Madonnina numero 131
(questo il totale delle stracittadine milanesi in Serie A), con i rossoneri vittoriosi per ben 47
volte nei precedenti incroci, rispetto alle 43 affermazioni dei nerazzurri 840 le gare che sono
terminate in parit ).
With the New Year come new expectations. Currently in joint first place with Juventus, Milan will
be expected to strengthen their position at the top of the Serie A though doing so in January may
prove tricky. Max Allegri's men first face Atalanta in a regional derby before the Milan derby with
Inter and ties [.
Reports linking Milan striker Alexandre Pato have been gaining pace in the last week. The player
himself has expressed his discontent with Max Allegri and it has been rumoured that Paris
Saint-Germain have offered €50 million for his services – with the deal already agreed in
principle between the two clubs.
AC Milan striker Filippo Inzaghi could be on his way out of the San Siro according to Milan Vice
President Adriano Galliani. The 38 year old veteran striker has failed to make an impact in
Allegri's squad this season and with the impending arrival of Carlos Tevez next month, Inzaghi's
chances of playing look dimmer and dimmer.
AC Milan moved to the top of Serie A ahead of the winter break after a 2-0 win over Cagliari on
Tuesday night. An own goal by Cagliari defender Francesco Pisano and a second half strike by Zlatan
Ibrahimovic proved enough for Massimiliano Allegri's men to secure victory against his former club
and continue their [.
As one unbeaten run came to a close in England, another ws sustained in Italy as the magic hands
of Italy and Juventus keeper Gianluigi Buffon earned the Bianconeri a 1-1 draw with Roma.
It's been interesting to see how the Italian Serie A is playing out these past couples of
weeks.
This weekend in the Serie A Milan travel to the food capital of Italy, Bologna, to take on Stefano
Pioli's struggling chargers. It has been a busy week for the champions who are playing their third
game on the road. Max Allegri was wise enough to rest a few players midweek for the rubber-tie
against [.
Carlos Tevez's move to Italy seems to be gaining momentum with every new day. Just last week
Tevez's agent Kia Joorabchian met with Milan Vice President Adriano Galliani for a dinner which
many believe was a disguise to discuss the fate of the Argentine striker.
This is the second meeting between both players after their first meeting at Milan headquarters
more than a week ago.
News off the field has dominated the week for Milan with former President Silvio Berlusconi set to
retake his seat at the club, the rumour mill that has been spinning the names of two Argentines and
with the talk of Max Allegri apparently coming to terms with the club over an extension to his
current [.
Heading into Sunday night's match Milan had won nine matches in a row against the Flying Donkeys of
Verona. With such a record and given the Champions' resurgence after a slow start to the season
Milan were clear favourites to win this one. And, Max Allegri's side duly lived up expectation as
they trounced a [.
Smooch from Pep Aw, isn't that nice. OTP is not convinced there were too many kisses after a few of
the tackles had flown in early in last night's match between AC Milan and Barcelona. We know there
must be genuine affection between Pep Guardiola and Massimiliano Allegri because Pep can be quite
choosy about [.

Alla scala del calcio, alias lo stadio Meazza di Milano, è andato in scena il calcio allo stato
puro: di fronte Milan e Barcellona, cioè dieci coppe dei campioni in due con un superiorit
rossonera di successi (ben 7 a 3) non sostenuta ieri sera con una superiorit sul campo dove i
rossoneri di AllegriContinua a leggere .
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.
It's completely normal for a successful footballer to own more than two phones, as we've
witnessed from Carles Puyol last Friday. Of course, when you're signing a
multi-million dollar contract with Santos (DESCULPE, Flo'Rida
Perez!), you've gotta put your goods on show as Neymar is doing here!
Milan boss Max Allegri has pointed his finger at the referee's decision not to award a late penalty
for the his side's failure to beat Fiorentina on Saturday night. Speaking after the match the
tactician was said, "Pato's shirt was pulled, it was a penalty." Despite not winning, Allegri was
still happy with his side's [.
Max Allegri has named his squad to face Catania. In the absence of Pato and Antonio Cassano he has
called up Pippo Inzaghi and Stephen El Shaarawy. I am expecting Allegri to opt for Urby Emmanelson
and Clarence Seedorf in midfield to fill in for Prince Boateng and Antonio Nocerino. But, how I
would love [.
Milan start life Antonio Cassano-less when they host Catania on Sunday night in the Serie A where
they will be looking to continue their recent good form. Max Allegri's side have four wins on the
trot and are just two points behind leaders Juventus who have a tricky encounter away to Napoli.
Should the Old [.
