Both teams could be missing key players if the pick up a yellow.

Rafael Márquez
Carles Puyol
Mark van Bommel

Gennaro Gattuso
Filippo Inzaghi
Alessandro Nesta

I think I'd rather see Barca in the final, Milan's boring defensively minded game wouldn't suit AFC as much imo, with Barca leaving more gaps.

I have this sneaking feeling that AC Milan are going to blow Barca away tonight!!!!

Duuno why but its in my gut!!!

I love upsets and for sure.....AC Milan could easily beat Barca tonight.

That wouldn't work with the away goals rule though would it? It would have to be a 1-0 Milan win to go to penalties.

Don't away goals only count until FT, and they don't count in extra time? So Milan could be 1 up at FT, and then 2-1 up AET

Correct. I don't know if the silver goal is still in vogue though.

Tonight's game really could go either way..

I fancied AC Milan to win at the San Siro but they didn't, and so I am leaning towards Barcelona although you can't write off any team that has Shevchenko leading the line.

Penalty shoot-out
If the away-goals rule proves inconclusive, extra time of two periods of 15 minutes is played after the second match. If during extra time both teams score the same number of goals, away goals count double (ie the visiting team advances). If no goals are scored during extra time, the winner is decided by penalty kicks.

That seems to say that away goals DO count in extra time. I think. :confused:

Looks like it, I'm pretty sure thats new, although it has been a while since I've had to worry about knockout games in Europe. :|

If thats true it's a stupid unfair rule to Milan. I know they used it in the Worthless Cup this season, how can one side be given 120 minutes to score an 'away' goal.

Kaka, Cafu, Nesta, Shevchenko & Ambrosini all got injured in Sundays game.
Cafu will be fit, Ambrosini has broke his leg, the other 3 are unknowns.

I think I'd rather see Barca in the final, Milan's boring defensively minded game wouldn't suit AFC as much imo, with Barca leaving more gaps.

Hopefully Barca to win tonight

Though Milan are always capable of scoring goals. Just hope Filippo Inzaghi stands on his feet and doesn't moan to much cause he will always score goals but he does tend to fall down very easily

£5 on 2-1 Barca with Ronnie to score.
