167 Champions League

Two very big games involving Italian clubs in the Champions League this week. Any predictions for the big Milan clash and Juventus at Liverpool. I am going for a 1-0 win for A.C Milan and a 0-0 for Juve at Anfield. I also think A.C. will win the competition they seem the strongest team in Italy and Europe right now.

Having seen Milan first hand, I think they will go on to win the competition. They were so much better than Manchester United in each match in the last round, though it pains me to say it! An all Italian final could be on the cards again.

You dismiss Chelsea at your peril! With Bayern Munich pretty much sorted and Juve not in as good a position as they would like don't underestimate the possibility of a Milan v Chelsea final - which would probably be a good reflection of the best two teams in Europe at the moment.

I would quite like to see Chelsea win the competition to be honest. I love Calcio but i am not a fan of the two Milan clubs or Juve for that matter. The Premier League in England is pretty much sewn up barring a major collapse by Chelsea so they have a very good chance of making and winning the final. I don't think my team in Italy A.C. Siena will make the Champions League this year :D , more likely it will be Serie B :( .

Forza Robur, Forza Siena :)

Saw my team, Fiorentina, nearly do Juve on Saturday night. Thank you Euro Sport for the best entertainment for yonks. Anyone else watch the football on Saturday...........Juve fans don't bother moaning, you were lucky to get a draw ( that's my impartial opinion). As for the Champions League, they have already engraved Chelsea on it, so what is there to discuss.

YUP - watched the mighty Brescia give it all and win a point at the San sero - not as much fun as being there watching them win three points off Inter last year but a surprisingly good result anyway - Though Fiorentina were unlucky, but there again glad to see you stayed in touch !!!!!!

It was good to see to good games back to back on Euro Sport. It's a shame Channel 4 in England don't show Italian football anymore, but at least with satelite I get the football and the cycling. Any comments out there about the Milan match last night..........didn't see it as I was watching Munich and Chelsea.

Ciao for now.

The referee had no choice but to abandon the game in my opinion, the players had been put at risk. UEFA needs to come down hard on Inter, and show that this sort of thing is completely unacceptable.

I was at the San Siro in 1999 when Manchester United played Inter and both the supporters and the players were pelted with fruit and bottles of water by the Inter fans, and flares were let off, thought I don't remember them being thrown onto the pitch. (When I saw Manchester United play in Barcelona, I remember some people having bananas confiscated, and others having to take the lids of the water bottles, presumably because if we did decide to throw them, the contents would disappear before the bottle reached its intended target.)

I did not see all of the game only the second half which was sadly cut short by the disgraceful behaviour of the Internazionale fans. I think the club will be fined heavily and maybe face a ban. There have been far too many of these flare throwing incidents this season and it is only a matter of time before a serious injury to a player or match official. I love the colour and excitement the tifosi create in the stadiums of Italy but the time has come to take serious action before someone is badly hurt.

On the footballing side i still have A.C. down as winners they are the best side in Europe still,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but i desperately want my team Siena to beat them on Sunday :D .

Forza Robur, Forza Siena
