Can Man Utd Eliminate AC Milan From Champions League?
Posted on March 7th, 2010 byThe stakes are now sky high with each game and the Man Utd vs AC Milan live stream Champions League match in the second leg will be putting both clubs under huge pressure to deliver. As of right now, the Old Trafford club is in the driving seat after coming away from Italy with the lead and three vital away goals. In this prestigious football tournament, a team that goes away from home and scores a goal will have it double in value when the scores are tallied after the home and away legs. Manchester United three of those and they will come out ahead of AC Milan even if both teams are level on aggregate, provided the Italian club do not equal their feat. With so many possible permutations, it suffices to say that neither team have yet to confirm their names will go into the draw for the next round. Obviously, the Premier League giants have the upper hand, although things can change quickly in this sport as proven so many times in the past.
The Italian media are already sounding the death knell for their representative in AC Milan after seeing how the old legs in the team were given the runaround by their younger opponents. It was a lesson taught that one must not forget the virtues of instilling some youth in a team’s foundation. Balancing that together with experience will provide a potent mix as Manchester United continue to illustrate in the Champions League. While there are signs that their own team will face an aging issue in due time, there is no doubt that arrangements are already being made to allow a makeover in time to come. For now, the Mancunians must have their own youngsters like Wayne Rooney come of age by delivering a second performance of quality and guile against AC Milan and leading the club on to a second final appearance in two seasons.
