FC Barcelona: How to Defeat AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League

FC Barcelona will face AC Milan in a UEFA Champions League match Tuesday. FC Barcelona is second in the UEFA rankings for 2011-2012 and has won the trophy four times. AC Milan is 13th in the UEFA Champions League rankings and has seven titles. The numbers do not guarantee a victory as shown by Barca's tie in front of Real Sociedad.

We have seen Barca advance in the first half of the match against Real Sociedad as well as other matches, only to lose steam in the second half. Barca cannot allow itself to repeat the same errors in the presence of AC Milan.

Silvio Berlusconi has made comments about luck and threw the gauntlet to FC Barcelona. What can Barca do to defeat AC Milan?

My recommendation is for Barca to take a hard look at itself on the inside. What should Barca be thinking of in order to win?

The answer is written all over the wall and does not need a slideshow. The key to a victory in any sporting event lies in hard work, practice, attitude and not letting up during the match.

FC Barcelona must unite all of its players to close any loopholes in the defense and the area in front of the goalkeeper. Barca must score and keep scoring, or at least keep playing during the match.

I have given my advice and it is up to FC Barcelona to listen and do what is necessary for a victory.
