FC Messina Peloro 1-3 AC Milan
Milan came from behind to earn an important 3-1 away win at Messina on Saturday. Goals from Marek Jankulovski, Gennaro Gattuso and Alberto Gilardino cancelled out Giuseppe Sculli's opener in a hard-fought game that saw Messina finish with just eight of their players left on the field. Sculli, Antonio Noverino and Salvatore Aronica were all shown red cards while Clarence Seedorf was also dismissed for the visitors after a dispute with Aronica in the last minute.
Milan's win could yet prove crucial to the title race as Juventus succumbed to their sixth Serie A draw and are only three points clear of the Rossoneri. However, Alessandro Nesta, Kaká and Massimo Ambrosini, Kaká's replacement on Saturday, all picked up knocks and could need treatment ahead of the trip to Barcelona. Coach Carlo Ancelotti was already without Filippo Inzaghi and Alessandro Costacurta (flu), while club captain Paolo Maldini stayed at home to recover from a minor muscular problem. Playmaker Andrea Pirlo, meanwhile, missed the match through suspension while concerns about Cafu's ankle subsequently proved unfounded.
Ancelotti deployed his strongest available lineup, with the exception of Rui Costa, who replaced Pirlo and was pleased with the result, although not the injury developments. "The race for the Serie A title is not over yet," said Ancelotti. "We still have three games to finish top. Our target is to win them all and to do everything we can. At the moment, I cannot talk about the conditition of the players that picked up injuries but Kaká was hit hard. We will attack against Barcelona as we did during the first-leg game."
any update on the players? i certainly won't be shedding tears if kaka or any of those other players don't play on wednesday. let's see what squad finally travels...

Nervy night
Milan will be in action at Camp Nou the following day against a Barcelona team shorn of Oleguer Presas, who is the only other player from the four semi-finalists to be banned for Matchday 12. The defender was yellow-carded in Barça's 1-0 victory at the San Siro which has set them up perfectly for Wednesday's conclusion. Rafael Márquez, Carles Puyol and Mark van Bommel are all in for a nervy night, though, as one wrong move could sideline them for the 17 May showpiece in Paris, should the Spanish champions make it.
Who do you think will replace Oleguer? I REALLY REALLY HOPE that neither puyol nor marquez pick up a booking, or else we will be really screwed. especially if puyol gets booked. assuming we go through, of course.... :fool:

Surely Belleti will replace Oleguer. If the macth against Milan goes well, i mean, 2-0 for Barça in the first part, or 60 minutes, they will be replace sure by Rodri and Gabri or something like that. Both, Puyol and Márquez are so much important on this scheme for to dont go to the final due to another yellow card.
By the way, nice pool on Sevilla...my god...
Now is difficult to schule this macth in the next weeks, due the Champions League and Uefa compromises....within today and tomorrow we got the date for the macth.
Take care

o ye! Barca are just the best everywhere ... team, supporters, supporters with fantasy teams ...
but I don't think I can hold onto top spot though; I didn't know you couldn't make transfers for the second leg
as for the match ...
I agree that with Puyol and Marquez treading a fine line, Rijkaard will probably take the first chance he gets of taking both of them off ... I'm just worried that if we weaken ourselves that little bit, Milan might pull that last-minute trick in our own backyard ... early goals for us will help, but I hope that we just don't rest on the lead and let Milan dictate ...

Van Bommel, Puyol and Márquez. Scary. They must be careful. If only Márquez had not committed that stupid mistake in the first leg.
This sucks, suspensions for yellow cards should disappear for the finals.
Milan have some players close to suspension too: Gattuso, Nesta, Maldini and Inzaghi.

I don't think it would be a tragedy if Van Bommel gets suspended for the final. Motta, Edmilson, Iniesta, Deco, and hopefully Xavi will all be there and can make up a 3 man midfield.
Losing Maruqez would be bad, but we can throw someone else in there and hopefully manage. If Puyol gets suspended, I'm going to cry. If both of them get suspended, I'm going to jump off a cliff!
I agree, in the interest of everyone involved, why don't they just get rid of these stupid suspensions for the final. The scenario we find ourselves in is proof enough that the rule should go.
I posted this earlier on the Villareal-Ars thread, but I'm sure it'll get lost ... and I felt it would be a lot more pertinent / meaningful in our thread ...

thank you! Despite our 'de luxe' squad that oozes class, I'm sure we'll need some luck along the way, as we go all the way!
I'm off to prepare for exams, so I'll "see" you guys (my fellow socios) after the game ... VISCA EL BARÇA!
