It could not be a better result.
The away goal is
worth double &
the pressure is
totally on Milan
to perform in the
2nd leg. Its going
to be difficult for
them as Barça took
TOTAL control in the
2º half showing speed, authority & class to score in the 57´min
by Guily that shook Milan making them wobble & be danced by a
dominant & confident Barça.
But the man of the match wasRonaldinho, he supplied the slick
pass to Guily that was rammed home
pass the Milan keeper.
He juggled, controlled, did bycles,
loops, blind passes, crossed long,
short & put the frights into the
Milan defence.
Brilliant performance, showing
why he´s the best player in the
world at the moment. A true CRACK!
Deadly, accurate & pure art.
Other mentions go out to Marquez ( great return from injury), Pujol
(tight as ever), Guily ( nice gol), Eto´o( ran all night) & Iñiesta
( nice work in the center).
As for Milan, they need to recover from this blast,
with more quickness & forward power. If
Barcelona manage to play at home like tonight,
they may steamroll the Italians.
The script cannot be better. What a gem of a
2º match we have to see.
Once again my tips were out. I predicted a 2-1
win to Milan, did not expect to see the Barça
Machine so tuned. Tweet

I watched the match here in London and felt an awe that these two teams on paper look to be the more worthy finalists. No disrespect to Arsenal nor Villarreal, two sides who have fought well indeed to get this far, but when you see Barcelona and AC milan step out, it is like two excellent warriors about to battle.
And it was not surprising that a single goal separated the sides. Though the way AC milan pressed in the opening stages, it seemed they would score first, Seedorf got down the left well to cross for Shevchenko to be denied by the post, I believe. Gilardinho (spelling?) could have scored near the left post but he struck the post with Valdez down, but Guily showed how to do it at the same post. Good goal, vision and ball from Ronaldinho.
AC had a number of chances in the first half particularly to make their presence count but to no avail. Now with the possibility of a number of missing players being available, the Nou Camp is going to be a possible low-key affair that will build up in the second half if AC continue to be a goal behind. Or if either side score, then the game will be an excellent conflict of near chances, great football and potentially a winning goal. My prediction is 2-1 to Barca on the night, 3-1 on aggregate.
I enjoy the articles and the pictures, excellent and really creative.

Thanks Redsman for the kind words & specially the analysis.
The Iron Law of Football, thoses who miss their chances lose.
Going to be a great 2º leg , football fans will be lucky to witness clashes of this level.
