Kaka returns to San Siro for the first time as the enemy.

Real Madrid vs AC Milan

Clarence Seedorf believes his side are starting to find their rhythm. Before last month's match against Real Madrid, AC Milan had only won one match in five. Since their 3-2 triumph in Madrid they have taken seven of nine possible points bringing them to fourth in Serie A.

In the lead-up to today's Champions League match between Real Madrid and AC Milan, an Italian show called Le Iene aired a never before seen interview with Kaka from his time with the Rossoneri. Perhaps the rapid-fire format put him in the mood to not hold back, but on one question in particular it would seem that he revealed a bit more than he may have wanted:

Question: "Which Milan player is exceptionally gifted down under?

Two words to describe this weekend's action: low scoring. No team scored more than 2 goals during their match, and the highest combined goal total was 3 (Napoli's 2-1 win over Siena). However, a more appropriate word may be clarity, as we now can begin to see more clearly the strengths and weaknesses of many clubs, whether they be contenders (Sampdoria!

Both Milan and Roma pulled off wins in their respective games against Bologna and Fiorentina yesterday. Inter also managed a 2-1 victory over Cagliari thanks to a Diego Milito double. "The pitch was awful, the ball bounced in a strange way, but in the end it went well and these points are very important.

Seedorf's wonderful solo effort on 75 minutes was enough for Milan to claim all three points at home against Bologna. It was not the most inspiring match nor will it fill Rossoneri hearts with hope for the season, however, it was a strong performance by the Leonardo's side. First half Leonardo made some unexpected changes to the [. Click to continue reading...

Huntelaar yetenek olarak Milan taraftarını heyecanlandıracak ve yaşı itibariyle takıma ihtiyaç duyduğu dinamizmi sağlayacak Milan'a yakışacak bir transferdir. Lakin bir Milan sempatizanı olarak transferde önceliğin savunma ve orta saha bölgelerinde olması gerektiğini düşünüyordum. Click to continue reading...

Milan fans must face the stark reality of their upcoming 2009-10 campaign.Despite the infusion of five youngsters in the last 30 minutes of last evening Club America game the Rossoneri look old and tired and we are not even in August. Their is an abundance of age and wisdom but no pace.Both collectively or even from Bippo Inzaghi who still beats people in open space on what i call fear speed. Click to continue reading...

Gerald Vanenburg was one of the first in a long line of artist football players. Circus acts, would be the criticism, mostly by people who'd break their angles if they tried to copy the trickery. Van Basten, Van 't Schip, Seedorf, Leonardo, Robin van Persie, Richard Witschge...they can all do tricks Click to continue reading...

SFS knows that it´s not all over until the fat lady sings. However thefinal act is coming to its end & the fat lady is expected to sing herlast song next week.

Neanche è andato via che già , per qualcuno di molto importante e influente, come il presidente rossonero Silvio Berlusconi, Kakà è "passato di moda", quasi fosse già un ricordo. Il Premier, dopo aver affermato che Lunedi sarà il giorno del colloquio decisivo per sapere il futuro del fuoriclasse brasiliano (quasi raggiunto l'accordo con il Real Madrid), rilascia delle dichiarazioni che costituiscono, in sostanza, una sorta di "addio" anticipato: "A decidere il loro futuro - ha detto il numero uno rossonero - sono sempre i ragazzi che devono scegliere come proseguire la carriera per mettere da parte il loro patrimonio.

Today's rumours are going to attempt to set a world record for the number of consecutive words to be written about summer deals without easy recourse to the names Cristiano, Gareth or Xabi.

This tough cookie should be part of the deal

It as they say, quite complicated. Adebayor has been talking from both sides of his mouth which helps him maintain his options. Does he have the gumption to stick it out with his stock hitting rock bottom or start anew?

Silvio Berlusconi is very keen on landing the Togolese striker but Milan's summer shows a lot of upheaval.

Milan's very own players were the subject of an Italian humor programme, "Striscia La Notizia", when most of their cars were caught breaking the 30km/h speed limit upon leaving Milanello! Of course hombres didn't go all out like Vin Diesel and co' but Thiago Silva's 74km/h clearly suggested that he wanted to get home real quickly.

Due to Livorno's loss on Friday, Bari were mathematically promoted to Serie A and will return to paradise after 8 long years of Serie B. The last time Bari were in Serie A they had players like Antonio Cassano and Simone Perrotta on the books. This season they were expected to at least contend for a play-off spot but nobody expected them to dominate Serie B.

Yes Ancelotti, we feel the same way about Milan's 1-1 draw to Juventus last night too! There were many dodgy decisions made by the referee (and a lack of insight) towards the dying minutes of the game. The Dinho and BaldieDuck were both brought down in the penalty box, but the he signaled for play to carry on.

Happy May Day, Futbolitas! We celebrate Pato's disastrous brave new shave today - although Sthefany and Kayky were both arguing over his decision prior to amigo's visit to the hair salon.

"I was at home with my girlfriend, who was against the decision. At first she told me not to do so, then we talked to (Sthefany's) sister and her brother who were OK with it and so I went ahead," he laughed.

Watching the first half of Milan-Cagliari was painful to be quite honest. It's clear that Milan's midfield has gone on a hiking trip eversince Kaka's injury. And if you ask us, we didn't even notice Beckham! At least Seedorf's 65th minute goal was able to secure them a crucial 1-0 victory. It was generally a lukewarm [. Click to continue reading...

Maybe it isn't so bad for David Beckham to remain in Milan after all. When news first broke that he was going to join us for three months, we were furiously against it. Can't blame us.

Milan can finally put the memory of their loss to Bologna behind them as Kaka and David Beckham powered Milan to a 4-1 victory. Milan now remain in 3rd place in Serie A after Inter won 1-0 over Sampdoria. Kaka scored twice effectively putting the Manchester City transfer saga behind him while Clarence Seedorf also found the back of the net. Click to continue reading...
