UCL Group D: AC Milan x SL Benfica [P+R]

[RuiCosta_10]

Game with history, we have already lost two finals to the Italian giants, on 1963 and 1990.

Rui Costa is back to Milano

Prediction with my heart - 0-2, with Rui Costa scoring one... Prediction with my head, i prefer not to say.

 

[Capela]

if maestro scores it will be a fantastic moment
i believe we can win but milan is very experienced and we have a young team and i think in CL experience is very important

 

[RuiCosta_10]

I honestly don't think we stand a chance... Simply because we have sooo many injuries, if with the all team it would be really hard, with this injuries, man, we're doomed.

Luisão and David Luiz, our first options to center back are injured, Zoro probably the third option to center back is also injured.

Petit, our defensive midfielder, and one of the captains and most important players is injured, who could sub him? Katsouranis, but he have to play at center back... damn...

Probable team:

----------------------------Quim----------------------------

---L.Filipe---------Edcarlos---------Katsouranis---------Léo--

-------------Maximiliano Pereira-----Rui Costa----------------

---Di María--------------Nuno Gomes----------C. Rodríguez--

---------------------------Cardozo-------------------------

SUICIDE!

Argh, I don't believe in anything here. If Benfica gets a draw, you better do a party all over Lisboa.

My head says 2-1 for AC Milan.

Rui Costa scoring for Benfica a 30 yard screamer

 

[RuiCosta_10]

Say it right María

 

[Jaboldinho]

2-1 for Milan

Kaká, Gattuso
Rui Costa

 

[smoove]

0 - 5

Eusébio x 5

ohh...

 

[MaSsiVe]

very hard task for Benfica here, Milan may not be at their best right now but they're always a force.

I predict 2-0, with Kaká scoring twice.

 

[Filipower]

Say it right María

3-1


nah like, Rui Costa, Di Maria and Rodriguez are in great form, shame about Petit though...

Milan's gonna win it probably, a 1-0 with Pippo nailing one of those "is he on, is he off" goals

2-0 Milan after 25 min.. Pirlo fantastic and Inzaghi always score in Cl. very good Milan

 

[Johnny_Big]

Milan are playing really nice football.

That failure from Cardozo is just wtf.

 

[TheGrimSweeper]

Respect the man in the sig!

 

[RuiCosta_10]

Man, our defense is a ******* pain to watch...

We miss a leader there, Luisão, David Luiz OR Katsouranis... But if Katsouranis goes to the defense our midfield will look even worse than it looks now...

Whatever...

 

[Tiago_10]

EdCarlos sucks, man. So does Maxi Pereira. Thing is, they wouldn't be playing if Petit, Luisão, David Luiz and Zoro were injured. A shame really..

Cardozo was really unlucky on that play he sent the ball to the post..

 

[RuiCosta_10]

I don't think Maxi Pereira sucks, as for Edcarlos...

Anyway, man... Considering the circumstances we were on this is actually a good result, Milan is just too good, and with so many influent players injured we just couldn't do better, we created some good chances on the attack, Di Maria, Rui Costa and Rodríguez were playing pretty good, but meh... With all the players recovered the picture will be much different at Da Luz.

Btw, nice to see Rui Costa being so well received, he's really a sir!

 

[Tiago_10]

I don't like to see Maxi play in the middle. But yeah, Luis Filipe for instance did a clumsy match, as usual. I liked Gilles or whatshisname, he did a good job when he was subbed in.

 

[Capela]

it was a great result for us because we probably should have lost 5-0
we played like crap and were very lucky not to lose by a bigger difference
we really missed luisão, david luiz and more importantly petit
camacho also screwed up and got it all wrong

anyway the game in Estádio da Luz won't be so easy and i think we can beat at our home

 

[Fernandez]

That guy who hit the post should have scored. I would have understood if it was a very fast ball but the ball looped into the sky and his positioning was ideal for the goal to be scored. But he hit the post.

Other than that, Pirlo with a crisp free kick goal.

 

[rony31]

just saw highlights of the game.. WOW, how did we not win like 10-1? Pirlo is a God, if it isn't him and Kaka finishing 1-2 in the Ballon D'or voting, the world is rigged.
