Barcelona will host AC Milan in the first Group H match of the UEFA Champions League on 13th September 2011 at 2.45pm EST live from Nou Camp.
Barcelona
Currently there is no stopping Barcelona. They are the kings of football at the moment and they are ruling with pride. Barcelona did not lose any match in the UEFA group stages. The only match that Barcelona lost was against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the knockout stages in the first leg but mauled Arsenal with sheer quality in the second leg at the Nou Camp thanks to the gifted footballer Lionel Messi who was toying with the Arsenal defenders. Barcelona are also undefeated in the La Liga since last season. The only major signing which Barcelona captured was of the former Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas who returned back to his boyhood club. This saga of Cesc Fabregas continued for three years and it came to an end this summer season. What a saga it was!. Cesc Fabregas is likely to make his first debut in Barca colors in the UEFA Champions League. How excited would Fabregas be?
AC Milan
The five time winners of the UEFA Champions League are currently in disarray as they cannot win anything at the moment. There was a time when Milan were the super giants in this tournament but now they are nowhere to be seen. With the likes of Paulo Maldini retired, Filipo Inzaghi who may retire this season and the unmistakeable Ronaldinho gone back to his country, Milan look lost. But do not forget, Milan still got Robinho, Pato and the former Barcelona player Ibrahimovic who have great experience in this form of the tournament. Also they have the fully experienced Nesta and Seedorf who can create big problems for the Barcelona defense and striking
It is match not to be missed. Both team are have vast of experience. The odds rely more on Barcelona clinching this game but do underestimate AC Milan. They are a team which is still not to be messed. Make sure to Tune in to ESPN at the Right time :)
