The Rossoneri legend insists that while the Catalonians are favourites to win the UEFA Champions League tie, the Diavolo will have their chances.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Franco-c14050 Baresi believes that Barcelona are the overwhelming favourites to emerge as victors from the UEFA Champions League quarter-final tie against AC Milan.
The first-leg of the tie played at San Siro ended in a 0-0 stalemate, and the Rossoneri are now set to travel to Camp Nou where the Catalonians have the reputation of a ferocious tiki-taka play.
The former Rossoneri legend insisted that the Milan outfit has lost its best chance of winning the tie, after failing to score in the home-leg. The veteran insisted that most of Italy now thinks that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 have better odds in the game, and the Diavolo
have a tough game on their hands in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011. However, he insisted that the Rossoneri have not conceded in the home-leg, and told that the fact means that Milan will have their chances of winning the crucial knockout match.
While talking to the press, the 51-year-old said:
“After the game last week, I still think the favourite is Barcelona. That is not only my opinion, the rest of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 also believes that. Nevertheless, Milan will have their options. The important thing was not conceding a goal at San Siro and that objective
was successful in the first leg.”
The former Rossoneri sweeper admitted that AC Milan have displayed a stupendous form in Serie A, but insisted that doing the same against Barcelona is a completely different matter. The veteran praised the Milan outfit for the spectacular exhibition of goal-scoring
football, and predicted that the match is going to be an absolute cruncher.
Baresi was all praise for Lionel Messi, and warned the Diavolo to watchout for the supernatural talent. He dismissed the Argentine’s comparison with Maradona, and insisted that the two are very different players. The veteran insisted that in the presence
of Fabregas, Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets, there is a lot more to the Spanish giants than just http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296.
The legend went on to extol Pep Guardiola stating that he has known him as an intelligent player, and an even better coach. He commended that Jose Mourinho is another great coach, and it is his bad fortune to have met a team like Barcelona as his opposition.
