After an outstanding performance at San Siro, Spurs hold the Seria A giants at White hart lane. Despite having worlds most expensive strikers like Ibrahimovoc, Pato and Robinho AC Milan failed to even once during the two legs. AC Milan are Seria A campaign leaders with 63 points and looks set to go all the way this season. The departure world's most successful European manager Jose Morinho from Inter Milan is one of the reason for their successful run in the Seria A. Jose Morinho is the only manager who wins Champions league with three different clubs Chelsea, Porto and Inter Milan. whereas Inter Milan are still searching for the right man to fill the gap created by the departure of Portuguese.
Tottenham wins the first leg with a goal from Peter Crouch but Harry Redknapp shows very defensive behavior in the second leg and his rarely looks to attack the Italian giants. But now they have qualified for the quarter final and they have every ingredient to qualify for the semis.
Arsene Wenger's side on the other day looses 4-3 on aggregate, there were many talking points in the match Fabregas back heel, Van persie's red card, Why Koacielny stays despite having dangerous tackles on Barcelona players, Szczesny's dislocated finger and much more.. Arsene Wenger side started the second leg very defensively, they defended well in the first half but were unable to keep the possession and gave away ball very cheaply during 90 mins and they pay the price.
We all know that Cesc Fabregas was not fit enough to play but even then he stays for more the 60 mins on the field before being substituted. Andrey Arshavin who is in good form these days replaces Cesc Fabregas but the two goals in quick succession by Barcelona shatters the Gunner's hope to qualify for the Quarter final, Arsenal replaces Rosicky with Nicklas Bendtner despite having Marouane Chamakh on the bench, and they pay the price when Bendtner misses an easy chance soo late in the game to get his side through.
Every season we listen that Arsenal have mature squad now but the problem is in the inexperience defense line and Goalkeeper if they want to win something they have to spend some cash on experience players.
