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 [.
After the Fiorentina game a couple of weeks ago I suggested that Milan could be top of the table by
Christmas because of their fairly easy run of matches before the New Year. As things stand, at
least until tomorrow morning, Milan are top of the heap having beaten both Chievo and Genoa since.
Last [.
If ever anyone needed convincing that a football match is divided into two 45 minutes games, this
is the one you would sit them down to watch. An incredible rollercoaster ride it was for us fans
whilst for neutrals it would have been first class entertainment. So often maligned for being
defensive and boring, this [.
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 [.
Champions League football resumes this week as Milan entertain Belarussian side BATE Borisov at the
San Siro on Wednesday night. Max Allegri's side enter this match on the up after their impressive
3-0 win over Palermo last weekend. Robinho's return seemed to help dispense with the lethargic and
predictable side we had seen in the [.
On Wednesday night Milan will play host to Czech side Viktoria Plzen when Champions League action
returns to the San Siro for the first time this season. Two weeks ago Milan secured an unlikely
point at the Nou Camp against Barcelona. Many did not expect the Italians to come away with
anything, including yours truly [.
Tonight Milan will host high-flying Udinese and nothing less than three points in this match will
do. The Champions have started their title defence in dismal fashion. They were forced to come back
from 2-0 down against Lazio in the opening round while on Sunday they were schooled by an
impressive Napoli, who made a [.
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.
AC Milan secured a gutsy 2-2 draw against Barcelona thanks to goals in the first and final
seconds of an absorbing match at the Nou Camp.
Pato gave the visitors a dream start when he notched the quickest matchday one goal in Champions
League history, only for Pedro Rodríguez and David Villa to reply either side of half-time.
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.
AC Milan captain Massimo Ambrosini believes his club needs an injection of youth but their ageing
squad is still capable of going all the way in Europe this season, he told OTP in an exclusive
interview. Ambrosini lifted the Scudetto last season after leading the side to a first Serie A
title since 2004.
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 [.
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 [.

After securing the signatures of Philippe Mexes and Taye Taiwo last week, this week Milan has
turned the focus to locking in some of their current players. A host of player contracts are set to
expire this summer including those of Andrea Pirlo, Clarence Seedorf and Massimo Ambrosini. While
the aforementioned have still not landed [.
The day most Milanisti were dreading is almost upon us. After months of stalling, Adriano Galliani
has finally set Tuesday, to be the day that shall determine the future of those whose contracts are
set to finish at the end of June, such as Andrea Pirlo, Clarence Seedorf and club captain Massimo
Ambrosini.
Chelsea transfer that no one saw coming. In search of right-sided relief, CA
calls upon his old workhorse, the versatile Massimo Ambrosini. Please God no.

Negotiations with Roman
We made some predictions two years ago, prior to King Carlo's inaugural season with the
club.

The world's best club competition returns today with two very tasty first leg match-ups, and
this is where it really starts to get exciting seeing the big boys go against each other. Today, we
see AC Milan hosting Tottenham, and Raul making his return to Spain with Schalke taking on
Valencia.
AC Milan aren't without their injury problems for tonight and coach Massimiliano Allegri has
named a 19-man squad for the tie.
Allegri is without Gianluca Zambrotta, Massimo Ambrosini, Andrea Pirlo and Filippo Inzaghi,
while former Spur Kevin Prince-Boateng will also miss out.
The Milan chief has stated that he respects Spurs and is wary of the threat that they pose:
"Aaron Lennon is a very quick and intelligent player, Peter Crouch is a good player too so we will
need to be careful.
MILAN, Italy — Mark van Bommel was sent off on his AC Milan league debut but the Serie A leaders
still claimed the three points in a 2-0 win at Catania on Saturday. Despite playing most of the
second half with 10 men, goals from Robinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic sent Milan seven points clear at
