Good morning... I am ready for the match and have my snacks to enjoy this match. Are you ready?  Join me to root for AC Milan our Italian Serie A Club and let's wave those Milan flags.

It's time for AC MILAN to reaffirm their comeback and defeat REAL MADRID in San Siro as they did in the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.


Here is the official starting eleven formation for AC MILAN by coach Leonardo:

AC MILAN:
Dida; Massimo Oddo, Alessandro Nesta, Thiago Silva, Gianluca Zambrotta; Massimo Ambrosini, Andrea Pirlo, Clarence Seedorf; Ronaldinho, Pato; Marco Borriello.

Surprise, surprise, Leonardo opted for forward Marco Borriello while keeping Super Pippo Inzaghi in the substitute list. Inzaghi has scored 68 goals in European competition.

Here is the official starting eleven formation for REAL MADRID by coach Manuel Pellegrini:

REAL MADRID: Iker Casillas; Sergio. Ramos, Raul Albiol, Pepe, Alvaro Arbeloa; Lassana. Diarra, Xabi Alonso; Kakà, Marcelo; Gonzalo Higuain, Karim Benzema.

I am ready and set to follow the match on Fox Sports.  It's the return of Kaka to San Siro. The first time against Milan in San Siro after the defeat in the Santiago Bernabeu.

This is it guys.. wow, I am so nervous and waving my Milan flag!!!!!  Get ready because players are about to enter the field... close up from Leonardo waving and my heart pumping so fast while watching Kaka saluting his ex Milan fans not forgetting him and neither have I !!

Giant Milan flags in San Siro......  Come on MILANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN Players are warming up in San Siro and close ups from Kaka wearing not the MILAN JERSEY but the opponent REAL MADRID JERSEY.... 

A big banner saying "CURVA SUD MILANO"  the crowd is enthusiastic and I am crying of joy just watching our Milan fans cheering for the rossoneri. oh come on Milan we got to win this one, forza!!!!!

Players are now coming from the dressing room to the tunnel... and to the firld.. wow. closeup from Paolo Maldini and Costacurta watching the match from the tribune. 

Here they are guys..   a loud roaring to welcome the players....  ready now for the Champions League anthem...  wow, guys,  I have goosebumps..  Ambrosini, Pirlo, Nesta, Dida, Borriello, Pato, Seedorf, Ronaldinhooooo   

Kaka also close up applauding.... and its time to rock in San Siro

COME ON MILAN !!!!!!!!




Players now greeting each other.. the classic group photo.... 

Referee Felix Bryc whistles the beginning of the match .. show time ... let's keep the ball rolling now....

Milan is pressing ..

Pepe leaves the ball and Pato gets it.. ooops... no way, Real Madrid clears... Dida seems a bit nervous

In the 5th minute, a cross by Benzema to Higuain and there is the flag for offside....

Kaka to Sergio Ramos...

OUCHHHHHHHHHH oh my gosh, guys, in the 6th minute, first clear and present danger when Karim Benzema makes a powerful shot forcing Dida to save with one hand.... corner...
Corner.. nothing happens.....  

Close up from Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini giving instructions.

Helloooo come on Milan... they are conceding much space to Real Madrid and in the 8th minute another chance for Real Madrid to score but the shot weak from Higuain after an assist by Arbeola and Dida blocks...

In the 11th minute, great clear by Alessandro Nesta denying Kaka any access to blast the net when Thiago Silva sends the ball away....  immediately DIda with a long pass from the right hand side finding Pato making a fast run  and in the process Ronaldinho is brought down asking for penalty but the referee not convinced and match continues...


Guys, Real Madrid is pressing too much and wonder why our defense not stopping the Merenguessssss 

Something got to chage guys because Real Madrid is dominating the match,. hellooooooo wake up Milan... '

In the 15th minute, here they come again ...  Higuain  with a left footed shot and lucky Milan because the ball goes too high over the bar....

Ronaldinho and Kaka on a one on one  and Kaka takes the ball away....

Corner for Real Madrid with Xabi Alonso and Milan clears... still in the area and oh my goshhhhhhhhhhhhhh  BENZEMAAAAA so close to open the score missing the target by few inches...    where is the defense!!!!!!! 

Twenty minutes already gone adn no goal..

oh come on...   In the 21st minute Seedorf to Ambrosini all alone in the center and a bad shot over the bar alle stelleeeeeeeeeeeeeee 

In the 24th minute a great moment for Milan  when Pato makes quick run after an assist by Seedorf  and all Real Madrid defense in the area trying to stop Pato and somehow goalkeeper Iker Casillas managed to clear the danger...
