Dopo la vittoria in rimonta della Lazio sul Cesena di giovedì sera la Serie A prosegue oggi con due anticipi molto interessanti. Alle 18 fari puntati sul Friuli dove, nonostante il pericolo neve, andr in scena un'Udinese-Milan fondamentale in ottica scudetto-champions. Tanti assenti nei rossoneri orfani, soprattutto, di Ibrahimovic squalificato (deve scontare la prima delleContinua a leggere .

The Tevez-Pato "will he? won't he" questions ricocheted every which way this January as the musical chairs transfers song played at AC Milan, but at the end everyone retook their own chairs. Boring. Perhaps they were dating Berlusconi's daughter, or were on £200,000 a week slave wages that no one else could match, but whatever the reason, that anti-climax will be followed up by a busy February and early March.

With Arsenal currently sitting 7th in the Premier League Table, it's now truly inevitable that Robin van Persie will choose a new club come summertime, barring some miracle. Because it seems so predestined, the notion doesn't trigger anxiety levels of Fabregas proportions in summers past, where you just really didn't know what was going to happen.

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 .

There were two things we learnt about Zlatan Ibrahimovic this week. One was that in his youth, he was "easily in the top five of the most unruly pupils" his school's headmistress had ever seen. The second was that he used to lock himself up in his apartment after a bad game when 50,000 fans whistled at him.

There are many critics who love bickering about the downward spiral of Italian football but at least they have the equivalent of a glamorous Oscar night! Finally, Zlatan Ibrahimovic silenced his entire phone-book of haters last night and won the title of Serie A's 'Best Player in 2011′ while Edison Cavani's Udinese were announced 'Best Club'.

AC Milan recently held a Christmas party (of course, 'Natale' is incredibly important for the land of the Pope!) where players, coaches, staff and sponsors were invited to mingle, eat cheese and look bloody fabulous. Everyone needs to take a leaf out of these smoldering Italians' books.

La carica dei 101. Come il film dove ammiravamo la cucciolata di Pongo e Peggy. In queste ore, invece, ammiriamo stupiti la cucciolata di gol di Ibrahimovic, giunto, con la doppietta ammazza Chievo, a quota 101 in Serie A. Bravissimo Zlatan, ora che i gol arrivano e si raggiungono i record il mal di panciaContinua a leggere .

"Tipoooo! Want a signed copy of my autobiography?" is probably what Ibrahimovic asked good ol' Messi in this photo, after Milan's 2-3 loss to Barcelona last night. Neither side really have anything to worry about they're both through to the second round!

The Milan tifosi and players rallied together last night to show their support for Antonio Cassano, the AC Milan striker who will undergo an interventional cardiac surgery (of his heart) to close the 'foramen ovale'. Doctors only ruled this when they discovered he was suffering from ischemic brain damage and he has been ruled out of football for up to six months.

202 goals con il Barcellona, a soli 24 anni. Messi continua a battere record su record e, con la tripletta messa a segno ieri sera nel 4 a 0 di Plzen, contro i cechi del Victoria, che ha spedito matematicamente i blaugrana di Guardiola agli ottavi, supera i 200 goals con la maglia dei catalani [...

Il Milan (al quale siamo vicini per i due "malanni" occorsi a Gattuso e Cassano: coraggio ragazzi, tenete duro!) fa tremare il campionato fa: con quella di Roma arriva il poker di vittorie rossonere consecutive, il pieno di punti in una girandola di gol: battute Palermo, Lecce, Parma e Roma ed un netto segnale di [.

Il Milan è tornato a far la voce grossa, e ha travolto per 4 a 1 il Parma nella nona giornata di Serie A. Chi mai avesse avuto dei dubbi sulla formazione di Allegri è fortemente costretto a ricredersi. Dopo la sosta per gli impegni della nazionale la squadra campione d'Italia ha ruggito sul campionato [.

You've gotta love the look on that girl's face : "Messi?? Quiero que mi sopa de letras!" ("I only want my Alphabet soup!") Ah, remember when you were 11 years old and spent hours daydreaming about being a child football mascot for the Champions League and/or walking out, holding a player's greasy hands?

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's reckless comments a day or so ago have sparked wild rumours that he may leave Milan sooner rather than later. The Swede effectively said that he is ‘over' playing football and does not have the desire to keep playing for much longer as it no longer inspires him. Why another club would be [.

Il Milan, esordiente al Meazza in questa Champions, ci ha messo più di un tempo, esattamente 53 minuti per cercare, conoscere e trovare la vittoria. Giusto il tempo di prendere le misure ad una formazione tutt'altro che attendista nella prima frazione dove con Bakos e Pilar era andata ripetutamente al tiro.

Come svegliarsi da un piacevole sogno. Così è il primo Milan casalingo di Champions. Dopo il pareggio insperato in terra catalana, ecco la prima avventura tra le mura amiche, dove, i rossoneri attendono il Viktoria Plzen, squadra rivelazione dello scorso torneo ceco, in cui si portò a casa titolo e coppa nazionale.

Champions League Preview: Real and Barca the teams to beat - originally posted on Soccerlens.com

It seems that in almost every aspect of the game, two clubs dominate the footballing world. They are Spanish super heavyweights Real Madrid and Barcelona. Any team boasting multiple stars is said to echo Real's Galactico era, while teams from League Two to the K-League are said to be a mini-Barcelona.

Frustrated Forlan alongside triumphant Miccoli
The Serie A has been dominated by the two main Milanese clubs for a bit more than half a decade. While they have had some testing competition by the likes of Roma and Juventus, the past ten years have seen AC Milan or Inter Milan win the scudetto seven times.

From arrogant Swedes to bratty Brazilians, there are many players who will have a big spotlight on them in the upcoming season. While some of these players are about to make the biggest move of their career, others will need to solidify their position they hold at their current club. For some, this season could be the last one which they're considered worth looking at.

El delantero milanista Zlatan Ibrahimovic parece que aún no se ha olvidado del todo de su antiguo equipo, el FC Barcelona, y quiere vengarse de los azulgrana fichando por el eterno rival. El sueco ha encontrado en el técnico portugués José Mourinho a su principal aliado para llevar a cabo su plan.

Last year, our fashion friends sent us some previews of the AC Milan boys in a D&G-Inspired Polaroid Book and we shared the exclusive photos with you. And ya'll know how much we love the Fashion-Football combination! This year, to celebrate their Scudetto victory (Italians don't need a reason to party, anyway) D&G organized an event at their store in Milan and of course, unveiled a series of new portraits featuring the Milanistis.

(Summary is not available.)

This weekend brought us some football related foolishness in front of the cameras.
First, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, whilst celebrating Milan's clinching of the 2010-2011 Serie A Scudetto, decided it would be fun if he kicked his teammate, Antonio Cassano, while Cassano was being interviewed:
Meanwhile over in Germany, Wladimir Klitschko held a press conference as part of the run up to his fight with David Haye.

Trasferta da bollino rosso a Firenze per il Milan, raggiunto per ora dal Napoli, vittorioso a Bologna. Una gara, lontano da San Siro, che (assieme a Roma e Udinese) rappresenta uno degli ostacoli maggiori sulla strada verso la conquista dello scudetto.

Perhaps Massimiliano Allegri said it best when talking about this upcoming derby della madonnina between AC Milan and Inter Milan.

"It's the match all of Italian soccer waits for, media and players together: it's a match inside a match."

The AC Milan coach is right, because at the beginning of the season I always mark down the dates of the Milan derby.

Tomorrow. 2:45 EST. One game that will play an absolutely massive role in deciding the scudetto. Milan win and they're firmly in the driver's seat. Lose and Inter take over the top whilst Napoli can join them, should they win against Lazio. A game to rule them all.

Here are, in no particular order and with no particular bias, three videos that illustrate the entertainment that this derby has given us over the past few years.

The current Serie A season has seen a trio of clubs compete for the Scudetto with Milan ahead by a small margin over Inter and Napoli respectively. The Milan-Inter showdown, set after the international break, will determine to a large extent the direction of the title. From an individual standpoint, there have been very few influential signings this season who can be credited with shaping the fortunes of their respective clubs.

Milan remain on top of Serie A yet their hold has become more tenuous than ever with city rivals Inter lurking just two points behind. The Rossoneri have some of the league's most talented individuals such as Robinho, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Antonio Cassano, but along with that talents comes a lot of baggage and unpredictability.

Il derby di Milano, in programma tra due settimane, e fondamentale nella lotta scudetto, non avr uno dei suoi protagonisti più attesi. Infatti, il giudice sportivo della Serie A ha squalificato per tre giornate Zlatan Ibrahimovic, per la manata rifilata a Rossi, difensore del Bari, nel match giocato domenica scorsa a San Siro.

Creator and scorer celebrating
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.

I'm not going to lead with the Chelsea highlights. I'm not going to lead with the Chelsea highlights. I'm NOT going to lead with the Chelsea... hello? Oh, there aren't any Chelsea highlights? But what about the 70 million pounds they spent in January? Torres and David Luiz played, you say? Well I'm sure Liverpool countered with their expensive January signings, right?

Nell'anticipo della 23° giornata di Serie A, il Milan impatta con il risultato di 0 a 0 contro la Lazio e rallenta, favorendo le speranze delle dirette inseguitrici (Napoli, Inter e Roma). Tanta sfortuna per i rossoneri, più incisivi degli avversari in zona gol, soprattutto nella ripresa, ma fermati dal clamoroso doppio palo colpito da [.

We'll still go with Cani's stunning goal for Villareal as the top goal of the weekend, but Ibrahimovic's strike for AC Millan vs Lecce yesterday was not bad either:
