Milan's form continues to impress at a very critical stage of the season with another convincing win in Serie A. Man Utd were halt by Viduka's equalizer last night. However, the next game will be different, and crucial for both club.
Man Utd has been on tremendous form this Champion League by humiliating Roma in the quarter-final. That results count for nothing in the next semi-final against AC Milan. AC Milan, who were the dark horses against Bayern Munich, scored twice in German to bear the Italian flag in the Champion League's competition this season.
Man Utd suffered another set back with Rio Ferdinand set to miss the game against Milan. Milan as usual, cannot count on Ronaldo, as he is cup-tied.
For me, playing the 2nd leg at San Siro makes Milan the favourite for this tie. To add to that, Man Utd's long injury list makes things harder for the English side.
I'll be hoping for the best for Milan. And hopefully, they will win in style.

Well, in my opinion Milan could win by doing agressive marking on both Rooney and C. Ronaldo. If those players arent able to show their best, Man Unt loses most of its offensive power. And let Kaka do his job! hehe
