The whole world will be watching when Barca take on Milan at the San Siro in the first leg of the Champions League Semi Final. Check the Sky preview here and the preview from the FCB blog here. Also, check some stats from The Telegraph UK here.

Many of the young players of Barcelona haven’t been to a Champions League semis before. In contrast, as Milan reached the finals last year, the Milan players would be better equipped to handle the situation. Barca has no Larsson, no Messi and no Deco. But Milan will also miss Inzaghi.

I predict a 2-0 Barca win despite the lack of experience and lack of players factors.

Two late goals meant AC Milan stormed into the semis dashing the hopes of Lyon. Inzaghi scored in the 88th minute, Shevchenko in injury time. So they will face the winner of Benfica and Barca in the semis.

A Barca-Milan clash would be a dream considerng the strength of the two sides. You do feel a bit sad for Lyon but such is sport.
