AC Milan – Arsenal

Ac Milan looked for a win with Alexandre Pato coming back. The game was a dead-locked battle, neither team earning the win. Kaka, the FIFA World Player of the year made a limited impact as The Gunners pretty much shut him down. Pato made very little impact as he was Yellow-carded, taken out,  and replaced by Gilardino. Milan looked pretty calm in the first half but lacked offensively. Arsenal dominated offensively with Adebayour and Eboue penetrating constantly. Milan had very few chances, but there was one that Kaka wasted. He had in the box. Kaka did a nice move or two. Then he did something that I still don’t or never will understand. He passed it. Frankly, he should have taken the shot instead of giving the ball away like that. During the second half, Arsenal slowed it down a bit.

                                            Man of the Match: Paolo Maldini

Maldini was the ……… Glue for Ac Milan. Him and Jankulovski kept Arsenal out of the box. That’s why Zeljko Kalac hardly had to work. Not that Adebayour didn’t get past him now and then, but Maldini connected the defense.
