Let us see how Barcelona will fare on their own pitch with Milan; somehow Barcelona's dominance has to end.

I am not sure of UEFA doing anything about the pitch, I believe it was a tatical move by AC milian to slow down the pace of barcelona as it is very difficult to execute passes on a water logged pitch. Very Barcelona too can avenge by doing whatever to their on pitch.

Its called technique, hence the essence of home and away matches. .

Every team would have the advantage of adjusting their pitch to suit their play. Some teams would cut their grasses low, others would cut theirs high. Some teams would water log their pitch, others would even use blow driers to make sure it is as dry as harmattan. The only thing that is under UEFA regulations are referees and balls!! CHIKINA

Moodie: So while the pitch was dry, the Milan team was playing in the air abi. If they had converted their chances, nobody will remember pitch. All the teams that have beaten Milan this season at San Siro played on the moon abi? Barca....always complaining.

true!Both arsenal and barca are always maintaining the grass on their pitches to suit their passing style of play,no rule says other clubs should do same, so long as the pitch is deemed fit for play.

Is AC feeling on top of the world for their nonsense tactics. Well, next week tuesday will be the judgement day. Camp nou pitch is big enough to bury them and all AC fans. Less i forget! Chelsea and Madrid re not left out in the burial. Just that theirs is in advance. Stupid Mouriho and chelsea re looking for who will beat Baca for them..,shame!

Don’t praise Luca Antonini for his two great blocks, nor Massimo Ambrosini for his 90-minute policing job in front of a tip-top AC Milan back four. Don’t blame Alexis Sanchez for not making the most of his burst into the area, nor for his backheel to Xavi from a shooting position. The real reason Barcelona failed to beat the Rossoneri in the Champions League quarter-final first leg on Wednesday night was that the pitch wasn't watered ... according to the Catalans.

You said they watered it while Barca said it wasn't watered...........hahahahahha excuse go kill una

Barca are just sore loosers. As if Milan didn't play on thesame pitch.
Well Milans response suits them.

Milans response:

"In reference to the official protest presented to
Uefa by Barcelona regarding the condition of the
San Siro pitch, AC Milan communicates that:
1) The watering of the pitch, to be done within
one hour before the game as agreed in the
organisational meeting yesterday morning
[Wednesday] and as per the regulations of the
Uefa Champions League in section 14.15, was not
carried out because of the conditions of high humidity on the pitch;
2) The general condition of the pitch, on which
Barcelona had trained the night before without
raising any questions, was deemed suitable by
both match officials and delegates from Uefa
during the site visit yesterday morning."

Yeah right, like they did in '09 & '11 UCL finals. Gimme a break! Must you always hate teams better than yours?
Re: UEFA Should Look Into The State Of AC Milan's San Siro Pitch? by DSB(m): 6:44pm On Mar 29, 2012
I sense that most of u guys are Arsenal supporters who lamented on how bad the pitch was when u played milan and lost woefully.
My take: Although the pitch was 'bad', i believe it was poor finishing and some last ditch defending that stopped barca from scoring. This only sets up a more tantalizing return leg. However, I am confident that barca will go through.
