Arsenal got knocked out by the Rossoneri in the last 16 of the competition, and the Gunners head coach has stated of the chances
of Milan in the tournament.
Even though http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 won the second leg of the tie 3-0, it was still not enough to overturn the annihilation they had received in the first leg
of the tie at the San Siro. The aggregate score line was 4-3, with the Diavolo progressing into the quarter-finals of the prestigious competition.
Despite having knocked them out of the competition, the Giuseppe Meazza outfit is not enough to convince the Frenchman that they would go on to
lift the trophy. He feels that they do not have the strongest side to go on to be titled the European Champions.
In his interview to the Corriere dello Sport, the Arsenal head tactician stated his opinion on who would be favourites, and stated:
“Barcelona are the super
favourites for the trophy. Milan have no chance of winning the Champions League.”
The former Monaco boss went on to suggest that the Diavolo had their strengths, however their weaknesses were not difficult to exploit, he was
quoted to have said:
“Milan play well as a team and they can count on a great player like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029, but I don’t think that they are at the level required.
They have some weak points.”
Massimiliano Allegri’s men have had their fair share of problems this season, and have had to contend with a lot of injuries. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexandre-Pato-c4901 has
been out of the line-up for most of the season, and has flown out to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kevin-Prince-Boateng-c20792 have been regularly featuring on the Milanello
treatment table.
The latest casualty for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903, who will be missing from both the legs of the Champions League tie. His presence would be
missed by the team as he has had a wonderful campaign this term for the Diavolo.
The Blaugrana have been in exceptional form of late and they would need to be well disciplined to block out the threat from the Barca attack.
