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.

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.

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.

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).

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!

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.

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!

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.
