Puyol and Co. looking forward to play against Milan
Barcelona will be facing AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League group stages on Wednesday. The Spanish Champions only managed to get a point against last season’s Scudetto winners as both teams squared off at the Nou Camp.
Barcelona, who were considered to be the favourites to win the home game between the two teams, only managed to get one point from the fixture. It was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexandre-Pato-c4901 who managed to score a brilliant goal in the opening few seconds of the game.
Later, Barcelona managed to make the score line 2-1 with the help of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903.
Barcelona couldn’t get all three points from the toughest Group H opposition – AC Milan. Now, the Catalans are going to be travelling to San Siro in Milan and both the teams will play the second leg in Milan’s home ground.
Barcelona’s club captain, Carles Puyol is looking forward to the game. The Spanish centre back has recently quoted that the whole team wants to play against Milan as it is one of the toughest fixtures of the season.
Carles Puyol was quoted saying:
"The game against AC Milan is the one we all want to play in. I've always liked Milan. It will be an important game and we hope that all goes well.”
Milan will be looking forward to top the group. If the game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 is won by Milan, they will be leading the group with a single point and they might just be able to top the group.
However, if the game ends in a draw, then Barcelona might just qualify for the next round as the toppers of the group. This is the only difficult fixture for both these teams in Group H.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926, Milan have a few players who can make a difference. He said:
"We will go to San Siro with lots of enthusiasm, looking to play our football, and trying to get a good result.
"However, Milan have lots of players who can make a difference, so we will have to work really hard to try and win."
