In a match-up between two of the top teams in Group H of the UEFA Champions League, undefeated Barcelona and AC Milan should provide soccer fans with an extremely entertaining match as the third slate of games opens up in the highly-competitive league. Barcelona currently paces the four-team group with 6 points thanks to victories over Ajax and Celtic while Milan holds a total of 4 points with a win over Celtic and a draw with Ajax Amsterdam. Three points clear of third place Ajax, AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri knows this match is crucial as far as group standings are concerned and hopes his squad is able to put forth a complete 90-minute effort against undefeated Barca.
"Tomorrow's match is important for everyone but especially for the standings," Allegri said recently. "It's always a fascinating game to play against them, it's a game of the highest level in Europe. They remain the strongest team in the world. We will have to take a positive result to increase our chances of progressing from the group. We will need 90 minutes of great patience, making sure we give them few chances. We need to play as a team. We have to repeat the same game that we played in February from a tactical point of view. If we don't play as a team we will lose."
Away from the Champions League, Barcelona continues to show its dominance across the globe. Pacing the Spanish Primera Division with 25 points on the strength of 8 wins and 1 draw in 9 matches, Barca hopes to remain in form especially since the team will travel to the Stadio Giusepee Meazza at full strength. Returning to the starting rotation will be superstar Lionel Messi along with Dani Alves, Alexis Sanchez and Gerard Pique.
Sitting eighth in the current Italian Serie A standings, AC Milan hopes a win over Barcelona in the Champions League will give them added confidence once they head back to a league that is currently paced by AS Roma.
