It's the time for AC Milan to take control of their destiny and reconquer their favorite scenario "The Champions League." Milan started the season with the wrong and finally seem to have found the right path non only in the Serie A, but also in the Champions League.
It's showime in San Siro.... get ready because a victory will qualify AC Milan to the final round of 16.
Here is the official starting eleven formation for AC MILAN by coach Leonardo:
AC MILAN: Dida; Massimo Oddo, Alessandro Nesta, Thiago Silva, Gianluca Zambrotta; Andrea Pirlo, Massimo Ambrosini; Clarence Seedorf; Ronaldinho, Marco Borriello, Pato.
Wow, guys, Leonardo at the end chose forward Marco Borriello insead of Filippo Inzaghi to be in the starting lineup. It was the only doubt of the match, so Inzaghi will start from the bench.
