To many, Barcelona is arguably the best team in the world, with world class players like Messi, Iniesta and Xavi, their dominance in European soccer is undisputed,but with a crashing 2-0 defeat against the Italian maestros Inter millan in the Champions league first leg, things are looking grim for the Catalans.Ac Milan defensive record while playing against great opponents is incredible, they have a very solid back line and am sure they will give Barcelona quite a hard time and without a doubt the Catalans will have this in mind considering their painful loss to Chelsea last season.The Catalans have the backing of the home crowd which usually plays to their advantage. This to me is going to be a cracker, a do or die affair, i foresee a heart fought draw with a possible Barcelona exit.....whats your take?....emmaxwell

I would assume that Barcelona would be up for the second leg considering their pride was hurt at San Siro. Had it been 0-1 loss in the first leg, I'd safely say Barcelona would go through but now its bit tricky. I'm sure Barca can score 2 goals but if Milan knick one early in game, I doubt if they'll let barca score 3.

I think if any team can bounce back from that match it would be Barcelona. That too now they are playing at home. At Milan Allegri came up with a great plan to stop and counter Barcelona. But at their home it is going to be that much more difficult with the home crowd behind the Barca team.
