AC MILAN vs BARCELONA!!

whos ready for a great rival match today for the champions league quaterfinal??? its going to be a close match i think but if Milan give Barca too put possesion they might give the game away. To me Milan has more of a vetern team with alot of class and smarts but, as we all know Barca just has a bench full of players and a starting 11 that can do alot of damage if given the opportunity. What im really excited about is watching some of my favorite players like Zlatan and Messi they both create and finish so well and i think they will play a big role in the teams today.

PROBABLE LINEUPS

AC MILAN Abbiati Bonera, Nesta, Mexes, Antonini Aquilani, Ambrosini, Nocerino Boateng Ibrahimovic, Robinho AC Milan's chances of dethroning the Champions League holder were dealt a major blow as center back Thiago Silva, who scored during a 2-2 draw between the two sides earlier this season, limped out of the Rossoneri's weekend clash with Roma. He has been ruled out for both legs of this quarterfinal, meaning coach Massimiliano Allegri will reshuffle the defense by welcoming back veteran Alessandro Nesta. Daniele Bonera will slot in at right back in place of the injured Ignazio Abate. Another key absence is the suspended midfield enforcer Mark Van Bommel, but Kevin-Prince Boateng and playmaker Clarence Seedorf are once again available and both could start, though Alberto Aquilani and Urby Emanuelson are also possibilities in the center of the pitch. Ibrahimovic, who tops the Serie A scoring charts with 22 goals, will lead the line against his former side. Robinho has recovered from an ankle problem and is likely to start alongside the former Inter star ahead of Maxi Lopez and Stephan El Shaarawy. Alexandre Pato has gone to the USA for treatment on his persistent muscle injuries and will not feature on Wednesday. Barcelona has a few worries of its own as defender Eric Abidal is scheduled for a liver transplant and another left back option, Adriano, is suffering from a thigh strain. Therefore, Carles Puyol is likely to be moved to left back with Javier Mascherano partnering Gerard Pique at center back. Coach Pep Guardiola could opt for a 3-4-3 system which he used against AC Milan earlier in the campaign. Dutch winger Ibrahim Afellay has been included in the matchday squad to continue his training, but will not take part in the actual fixture, following his recovery from knee ligament damage. Spain international striker David Villa remains a long term casualty. Which players will partner Lionel Messi upfront remains a mystery, but the two front-runners appear to be Cesc Fabregas and Alexis Sanchez with Pedro also in contention for a place in the starting XI.

BARCELONA Valdes Dani Alves, Mascherano, Pique, Puyol Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta Cesc, Messi, Sanchez
