AC Milan will be looking to put behind them their disastrous weekend outing when they host Juventus at the San Siro tonight in the Coppa Italia first leg semi-final. With Juventus also having settled for a similar barren draw with Siena in the weekend, the match will definitely be an explosive one.

It may have been called the Dubai Challenge and Massimo Ambrosini may have receive a rather extravagant trophy relative to the significance of the whole affair, but, there is no denying that the match played between Milan and Paris Saint-Germain was played more in the spirit of a friendly. Carlo Ancelotti, who took to the [.

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 [.

It was October 20, 2004, when Milan welcomed FC Barcelona to the San Siro on match-day three of the Champions League. Much like today, both teams were clearly the best two in their group. Much like today Barcelona sat in first position, Milan were in second. And much like will be today, the team that [.

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!

Our feisty Calabrian midfielder Gennaro Gattuso has returned to training this week. He endured a full session with rest of the squad who are not on international duty. Of course, Gattuso is not yet ready to play. The fickle nature of his eye disorder means no time has been set for when he should return.

Against Poland tonight Ignazio Abate will finally get the chance he has deserved from some time now; to play for Italy. Two years ago former coach Leonardo asked the young winger to play at full back and since then he has become one of the best in his position in the country – the best [...]

Quando il centrocampista del Milan, Gennaro Gattuso, in arte Ringhio, ha cominciato a vedere doppio, evidenziato dei seri problemi al nervo ottico, noi non ci abbiamo più visto e, ci siamo sinceramenti arrabbiati con il gioco del calcio che ogni tanto ci propone storie inaspettate, momenti acri che nessun abbonanento a nessuna squadra, nessuna tessera [.

Max Allegri has said that this game is a title decider. While I do not subscribe to the belief that Roma are contenders for the Scudetto this is still, undoubtedly, an important match. This not to say Roma will not be difficult opposition because they always are especially at the Stadio Olimpico. This is highlighted [.

Max Allegri has named his squad for the Parma clash. Clarence Seedorf as expected has not been included along with Alexandre Pato and Gennaro Gattuso who is out for six months. Surprisingly Thiago Silva has been included but it is doubtful he will start. GOALKEEPERS – Abbiati, Roma DEFENDERS – Abate, Antonini, Bonera, Mexes, Taiwo, [.

Against Lecce we saw the very best and the very worst of Milan. Luckily, despite being 3-0 down at half-time we were able to come back and win in the most dramatic of circumstances. The team will head into the Parma fixture inspired by their win at the Stadio via del Mare. Kevin Prince [...]

AC Milan veteran Gennaro Gattuso has been diagnosed with a serious affliction to his left eye which is causing double vision and which will see him sit on the sidelines for a good length of time. Milan's team Doctor Tavana has said Gattuso is suffering from a paralysis in his sixth cranial nerve which is [.

Some weeks ago, we mentioned about Barcelona's fight to end polio with the Bill & Melissa Gates Foundation in the USA. Well, it's certainly a great cause and in honour of World Polio Day yesterday, the club unveiled a video (which may be a little cheesy, but to the point) describing their mission in greater detail!

Max Allegri has indicated that Gennaro Gattuso could be unavailable for some time still. The feisty Italian midfielder had been suffering from blurred vision to his left eye and has been sat on the sidelines to recover. However, Allegri has told that due to the particular nature of his injury it is unknown exactly when [.

Max Allegri has announced his squad for his side's match against Lecce. Notable yet expected exclusions include Gennaro Gattuso, Alexandre Pato, Mathieu Flamini and Thiago Silva who are all suffering various injuries. Philippe Mexes has been selected but Allegri has suggest Mario Yepes may start in his place alongside Alessandro Nesta.

Milan head into this fixture in confident mood after finding their feet and form this past week. Two impressive victories, first against Palermo and then BATE Borisov in the Champions League, have shown that the Italian champions are back, finally. Max Allegri's men will be hoping to add another win to their form book in [.

1) They're baaaaaack! And probably better than ever. The Champions have had a sluggish start to the season, but the biggest shock was not the high profile losses against Napoli and Juventus themselves, but the manner in which they were utterly outplayed by both pretenders and looked completely toothless.

Few would have thought before the season started that come round 6 Milan would enter the match against Palermo in 15th place on the table while the Sicilians – Javier Pastore-less – would be sitting pretty in fourth. But, so it is after the club's worst start to the Serie A since 1997. Max Allegri [.

Napoli, Juventus, Udinese and Cagliari look to continue their winning ways midweek. While manager Eddy Reja is sticking with Lazio after having his resignation refused by club president Claudio Lotito which means, start to the famed Italian managerial sack race is avoided if only temporarily. Champions Milan will be looking to avoid a back to back loss results when they welcome visitors Udinese.

Liverpool loanee Alberto Aquilani made an immediate impact in Serie A on Frday, creating two goals for AC Milan as the team clawed back a two-goal deficit against Lazio. It could've easily have been Liverpool rather than Milan benefiting from Aquilani's creativity and delivery this weekend, but Kenny Dalglish decided to let him go this season.

After last Wednesday came to an end and no big signing was announced, I must admit I was disappointed. Like last year when the club landed two great players late in the transfer window I was hopeful the club would do so again. Far from arbitrary, the promises of the fabled Mr. X gave my [...]

Like him or hate him, you better respect Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Swede has celebrated domestic silverware every single year since 2006 and tonight's Serie A opener will begin his quest for a sixth straight league title.

Ibrahimovic, who celebrated winning the Scudetto with AC Milan last year following three years of glory with city rivals Inter as well as a La Liga title won with reigning European champions Barcelona, is confident that Milan remains the team to beat in Italy.

This week it was announced that American midfielder Michael Bradley, who was on the outs with German side Borussia Mönchengladbach, managed to secure a transfer deal to Chievo Verona in Serie A, along with a multi-year contract. Bradley, son of former United States National Team Coach, Bob Bradley, will be the only American playing in Serie A this season.

There have been as many positives as negatives for Milan during this preseason. One bleeding obvious negative is that this team is still too old, especially in the midfield. Undoubtedly because of this the team's play at times can be painfully slow and predictable. There is also a clear lack of creativity in the frontline [.

Pre-season games often be no more than glorified fitness sessions, and with due respect, the ‘Supercoppa de Italia' could be that type of encounter, struggling to elevate itself beyond ‘kick about level' certainly for players accustomed to scudetti and Champions League endeavours. But while the cachet of a Supercoppa triumph is debatable, an early opportunity for Milan to lay down a.

Gennaro Gattuso warns Milan they need to bring in "Alberto Aquilani or Riccardo Montolivo, someone with quality."
The Rossoneri fought back to beat Inter 2-1 in the Italian Super Cup on Saturday, but their sluggish first half performance raised questions.
"The way I see it, Milan need a new man in midfield," Gattuso told the Gazzetta dello Sport.

George Vecsey of the New York Times writes of the challenges facing Jurgen Klinsmann as the new head coach of the US National team.
Klinsmann has the aura of the international soccer celebrity — "sexy," one soccer insider said, meaning attractive, in the public relations sense. But it would have been instructive, in a purely laboratory experiment, to give Bruce Arena or Bradley the German squad of 2006 and see if they could achieve third place.

The best is yet to come from Milan in this year's transfer window. Well, at least this is the hope. Last year the club made a very late double swoop for Robinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic and both these players were central figures in the club's first Scudetto triumph since 2004, especially the latter. So far [.

Manchester United have been missing a special player in the centre of the park for sometime. Gennaro Gattuso, Michael Essien, Michael Ballack and Mesut Özil are amongst some of the top class players we've missed out whilst our midfield has gradually deteriorated.

Gone are the days when we could afford to have players of Roy Keane and Paul Scholes' quality in the team, then still splash £28m on someone like Juan Sebastián Verón.

It is no secret, Milan are in the market for a left sided midfielder. The club seem settled on Mark van Bommel playing as the team's anchor man in the centre of midfield. Either Mathieu Flamini or Gennaro Gattuso will play the supporting role on the right side. It is now just a question of [...]

Although it isn't a recent image, the photo isn't that old either. Both the Rhino with his shades and Ibra with the pinstripe are definitely in fashion and styl'in the Milano way. Why not show some post-season lov'in for the Rossonero times two right. Heck you gotta love these guys and at least they've left their clothes on for show.

Yesterday it was announced that Massimo Ambrosini has signed on for another year at the San Siro. The midfielder has been kept on at the club and it is expected that he will alternate with Mark van Bommel as the team's defensive midfielder next season. This is a good decision by the club. Admittedly, having [.

Scot Munroe is taking a look at the team of the week for Round 37. Formation is 4-2-3-1 Goalkeeper Doni (AS Roma) Sometimes he causes nerves for all Roma fans but on Sunday he showed form reminiscing to the 07-08 season. He pulled of some really good point blank saves to deny Ledesma and pulled of a brilliant save to deny Maxi Lopez in the first half.

Scot Munroe is taking a look at the team of the week for match day 30. Formation 4-4-2 Goalkeeper: Salvatore Sirigu (Palermo) The Italian goalkeeper was in unbeatable form to deny AC Milan on Saturday night. Sirigu denied Flamini and Robinho with brilliant saves. He saved his best to last by brilliantly saving from Gennaro Gattuso bullet header.

Tottenham Hotspur's first-team coach, Joe Jordan, has also been handed a one-match suspension for incidents in the match at Milan. Jordan clashed with Gennaro Gattuso, who was given a four-match ban for head-butting him.
