AC Milan will beat Read Madrid again, Milan Defender Luca Antonini
AC Milan defender Luca Antonini believes his side can beat Real Madrid again at the Santiago Bernabeau when the two sides meet in the next round of the UEFA Champions League. AC Milan won at the Bernabeau last season thanks to a Pato Brace. Milan and Madrid
were put in the same group last year as well and Ream Madrid failed to beat the Rossoneri in both the matches. Real Madrid still managed to finish in the first place following Milan’s poor performances in the other group matches.
“No doubt Real Madrid is a great team. They beat Auxerre thanks to Di Maria’s late striker. But we will go to Madrid to play and win. We won there last season and there is every reason we can win again”. Antonini said to the official website. Antonini was
speaking to the club sources after Milan drew 1 – 1 against Dutch side Ajax Amsterdam.
The wingback then spoke about Ajax forwards by saying, “Ajax has two great forwards in Luis Suarez and El Hamdaoui but aside from their goal, they dint create much. It’s a shame Robinho couldn’t score but we did really well to draw”
Robinho was put through on the goal by Seedorf in the first half but shot wide with only the keeper to beat when he had all the time in the world.
Mathieu Flamini has also spoken to the club website following his length injury layoff. “I was out of contention for four weeks, it’s a long time. However, now I feel good and I am satisfied with my performance. My objective is to win a starting berth for
myself on the squad”
Flamini was criticized by the press for his performance as the midfielder missed a golden chance in the first half. Had he scored, Milan would have taken the lead and the outcome would have been different.
Milan will now face Real Madrid in three weeks time while Ajax will face Auxerre. The match against Real Madrid is more than likely to be decisive as to who will finish the group in top spot.
