AC Milan have turned their season up side down, with the signing of Mario Ballotelli they were back with back to back wins in the League and even managed the same against the footballing giants Barcelona. Milan took an impressive 2-0 lead in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 match last night.
Two precious goals at home meant that if Milan score atleast one at the Camp Nou, they will be having a major chance of getting through to the next round.
Barcelona as usual had the majority of possession, a whopping 73 percent, but having possession itself doesn't help in winning the match, this was again proved by Milan as their strong defense and bursting attack helped them to take the vital lead over their opponents.
Champions League, 20th Feb 2013
AC Milan 2 Boateng 57, Muntari 81
Barcelona 0
The breakthrough came in the second half when Milan's Zapata took the ball into the box which eventually fell in front of Boateng who fired it past Valdes into the Barcelona goal.
The lead was doubled as the second half came to its last ten minutes, Muntari volleyed the ball past Valdes to make it 2-0 for Milan.
The second leg will be played at the Camp Nou on the 13th of March
