Wed, 15 Feb 2012. Stadio San Siro (Giuseppe Meazza), Milan, Italy
,
UEFA Champions League Round of 16

A goalless draw not helping any of the team.  Milan wasting "again" a golden moment to take the lead after the draw from Juventus  - AC Siena.  Milan had the chance to be number one, but failing big time to defeat Napoli in San Siro.  Making matters worst is when Referee Rizzoli gives a red card to AC Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the 64th minute after slapping the face from Napoli defender Salvatore Aronica.  In the replay, it is also seen the counter slap by Aronica for Nocerino but not punished. 

Tough for Milan because if Ibrahimovic gets 3 day suspension he will miss the crucial upcoming games against Udinese and Juventus!!!  Maybe he gets 2 day or 3 day suspension.

Napoli had the chance for the last 25 minutes to take advantage of the extra man, and still no goal.

Well, situation a bit out of control for Milan because coach Massimiliano Allegri also losing control and is sent off for protesting.
 
Robinho had many chances to score, but the ball not willing to break the net. Clear chance in the 49th minute after being almost one on one with De Sanctis and he could not believe his luck when his shot went wide instead of scoring that even  his facial reaction  so clear, as to "helloooooooooo what have I missed?"
 
AC Milan remaining  in the 2nd position with 44 points and a positive goal difference of +24.
Napoli also remaining in the 7th position with 31 points and a positive goal difference of +12.

Milan with a big blow, a major blow after losing at the Olimpico di Roma against Lazio with the goals by Hernanes and Tommaso Rocchi.  

Napoli failing again to defeat Milan in San Siro.  Last time Napoli defeated AC Milan in San Siro was back on April 13, 1986 with a 1 - 2 when Diego Armando Maradona was playing for Napoli and even scoring in this game in the 23rd minute.


The first round on Week 3 on Sunday September 18, 2011 in favor of Napoli with three goals by forward Edinson Cavani.  Napoli 3 - 1 AC Milan..
 
As for Napoli, well, well, well... after starting the season at top level with high motivation, slowly have been losing points and risk now not even qualifying to the Champions League next year. 
 
After the game, stats in San Siro continuing  in favor Milan.  Out of the 73 games in San Siro including 66 in Serie A and 7 in Coppa Italia:
