Motta?! wetin him wan do? 
Stankovic though has some wicked shot in those legs of his.
We should be able to handle Milito.
Eto'o should be very tired after the match against Samprodia. If at least against us, he should continue to remain out of form. 

But those Sneidjer freekicks?  well, nothing do us.
And if there is any player I respect in Inter it is Zanetti! Goodness me, where does he get that energy from?

With Toldo in between the sticks? expect anything. 

H.J:
oh khanye u know ridwan sanusi,,  . . .small world . .  .well he just told me dat he didnt feel the album cover and wanted a lil twist on
it.

@DBR yo homes, the DENTAL ADVISORY ish was only used on MALCOLM IX . . .every work he did had the PARENTAL ADVISORY . .(I fink?)

honeric01:
even when we didn't play well, we still ended the game with our head high, were we humiliated? wait till Inter get your butt whooped before you mock other clubs.

FBS:
Ole. barao. Instead of you to say yes you were lucky, you are running your mouth off. 

JM did fantastic things for Chelsea and that is why I like and respect the guy. But he is no more with us and thus we have to move on.
Rugby team? which one be rugby team? 

jalether:
I fear only 2 players in that inter team, pandev and sneidjer, pandev esp is the one to watch out for

as for the rest,we are capable of taming them.

FBS:
Nothing do us. We no dey make mouth. 
Although JM is my fav coach, Chelsea comes first. hehe 
But seriously, you guys got very lucky yesterday. Stuggart had legit penalty shouts and could have been 3 - nawting.

jalether:
Great job Khanye, what team will you be supporting?

A score draw will be a great result @ d san siro, and a victory over inter will be icing on the cake

Inter 1-1 chelsea, lets go thereeeee

MrCrackles:
Never seen Barca play so poorly . . . .
Yaya Toure's partnership with Marquez at the back was disastrous. . . .No he wonder the muppet got subbed off. . .
Barca will struggle to win any honours this year. . .

FBS:
What a pathetic performance from Barca.
Stuggart should have finished you guys off. 

Second leg should be interesting.

Champions League Salvation
https://u.goal.com/87200/87219_news.jpg

Before their game against Udinese on Friday, Milan hadn't won a game in any competition since their defeat to Inter in the Derby della Madonnina. But the 3-2 win against the Bianconeri has put the Rossoneri back on track.

At the moment Milan are third in the Serie A table and at this stage, all they can aspire to accomplish in the domestic arena this campaign is to finish second. Leonardo's side are out of the Coppa Italia and the Champions League is the only way that they can gain salvation.

Playing Manchester United at home in the first-leg of the Round of 16 wouldn't necessarily be an easy task and perhaps Leonardo would have liked the first-leg to have been at Old Trafford. However, the last time the two giants of European football clashed was in the 2006-2007 Champions League semi-finals, which Milan won 5-3 on aggregate.

Moreover, Milan defeated Real Madrid 3-2 at the Bernabeu in the group stages and held the neo-Galacticos to a 1-1 draw at home, so they wouldn't be intimidated by the Red Devils, who do not have a superstar in his prime except Wayne Rooney.

Sheen Lost But Spirit Retained

After Manchester United lost Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid in the summer, many thought that this season the reigning English champions would struggle. Which they did initially and on occasions, but at the moment United are second in the Premier League table, just a solitary point behind leaders Chelsea. Moreover, they won their group in the Champions League quite comfortably.

However, United have yet to come up against any big teams in the Champions League this season and Milan would be their toughest test yet. But playing the first-leg away from home would be a good thing for the Red Devils as they would know that even a defeat wouldn't be bad.

It would be interesting to see how the traveling United fans take to the fact that their former idol and icon David Beckham would be playing against them for the first time since he left Old Trafford in 2003. Beckham has already remarked that he wouldn't celebrate if he scores against his old side but was quick to point out that it wouldn't matter if he doesn't feature on Tuesday night as long as Milan garner a victory.

Another point of interest is that the Rossoneri have never failed to progress when they have faced the English giants in a two-legged tie.

TEAM NEWS

Milan

Marco Borriello is out with injury but Alexandre Pato is back. David Beckham might be given the nod ahead of Gennaro Gattuso in the midfield but coach Leonardo might like to go with the Italian given that Beckham could probably struggle against a workman-like United midfield.

Probable Lineup (4-3-3): Dida, Abate, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Favalli; Gattuso, Ambrosini, Pirlo; Pato, Huntelaar, Ronaldinho

Manchester United

Nemanja Vidic, Ryan Giggs and Anderson have been left behind in Manchester as they all are suffering from injury. Rio Ferdinand and Nani are available as their suspensions cover only domestic matches.

Probable Lineup (4-5-1): Van der Sar, Rafael, Brown, Ferdinand, Evra; Fletcher, Scholes, Nani, Carrick, Valencia; Rooney

[size=14pt]Barcelona's Xavi Hernandez out for two weeks[/size]

Pep Guardiola's Barcelona did not just lose their first match in La Liga yesterday at the Vicente Calderon, but also their attacking engine in Xavi Hernandez, as reported by Marca.

Barcelona lost Seydou Keita in the second minute of the match to a muscle tear as the Malian, who will now be out for a month, joined Eric Abidal (two months), Yaya Toure (two weeks), Dani Alves (three weeks) and Dmytro Chygrynskiy (one week) in the Barca infirmary.

But Guardiola was greeted with even more bad news as defeat became clear when his midfield mastermind had to be substituted with a knock. The Spanish international has picked up a muscle tear in his right leg and will be out for two weeks, thus missing Barcelona's Liga fixture against Racing Santander and Malaga, along with the away leg of their Champions League fixture against Stuttgart.

His participation in the Spanish national team for their international friendly against France on March 3 will also be uncertain.

A further absence to Guardiola's side for Barca's next match is Sergi Busquets, who will miss the clash with Racing through suspension. Rafa Marquez and Gerard Pique will be back in the side after serving out their suspensions against Atletico de Madrid.
