The former Italian international urges his team to go all guns blazing at the Catalan giants and believes that the Rossoneri will focus on the full team rather than individuals

The Rossoneri have travelled to Camp Nou to take on the Catalan giants in the second-leg of the quarter-final of Uefa Champions League. Both teams will have a lot to play for, as they drew blanks in the first-leg last week.
Ambrosini, who was a catalyst in his team’s amazing performances at San Siro, has suggested that Milan will come out on the field only to win. The skipper was all praise for Messi, and insisted that the Argentine is a special player,
who can change the match on his own head. However, he believes that his team does not need to appoint anyone to mark the diminutive striker.
While talking to the reporters, Massimo Ambrosini said:
"Messi is a unique player with the ball at his feet; one cannot think of trying to stop him. So, I do not think we will assign someone with the role of stopping him."
The veteran midfielder has urged his team to take the opposition from the scruff of their necks rather than allow them to bombard their defence with attacking football.
"If you leave them to play their game, sooner or later something happens. We must face them with courage otherwise this game will be very hard. It is great to be here but the intention is to go through."
Ambrosini is predicting an extremely daunting challenge for his side, and knows what it would feel like beating Barcelona and knocking them out of the Champions League at Camp Nou.
“As captain I can say that it is a special experience to be here, but it would be even more beautiful if we progress to the next round. We do not know what it feels like to beat Barcelona here in recent years."
The last time the Catalans failed to score in a two-legged tie of the Champions League was back in 2007/08 season, when Manchester United knocked them out of the competition.
