Barcelona vs. AC Milan, 2013 UEFA Champions League: It’s all Barca so far
Where has this Barcelona team been the last couple weeks? The passing looks better, the aggression is there...the defense is still scary though. Messi's early goal and a ton of close calls have Milan on their heels after 15 minutes.
Milan were able to get a counter attack chance in the 9th minute but the chance was wasted by Stephan El Shaarawy. The entire build-up looked eerily similar to Milan's chances in the first match and likely caused Barca supporter's hearts to skip a beat.
Barcelona were denied a penalty in the 11th minute as Ignazio Abate got away with a bit of clumsy challenge against Pedro Rodriguez. The pressure continued two minutes later when Andres Iniesta launched a wicked volley that was someone paried away by Christian Abbiati. Messi was all over the rebound but his header went into the side netting.
How long can AC Milan stand-up to this attacking assault?
