CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TIPPING
A real mouthwatering tie in prospect here with two sides that have underachieved in recent years but are still two of the biggest clubs in European football. AC Milan cruised through the group stages this time around and really held their own in two games against the mighty Barcelona.
Last season’s Serie A champions are once again doing the business on the domestic front but Massimiliano Allegri’s side would do well to remember it was another North London side in the shape of Tottenham that put them out of this competition last season. Arsenal have been out of sorts in the Premier League in recent weeks and look like they are going to seriously struggle to qualify for next season’s Champions League as things stand.
Winning this competition would obviously solve that problem, but the Gunners look a long way short of being able to achieve that. It’s a real toss up as to who will qualify for the quarter finals between these two teams, but I’d have to side with Milan at the San Siro.
