Looking at a more neutral point of view, we should probably ask ourselves if we have really create enough to score more goals to win the game. Barca 8 shots on target 9 off target Milan 1 shot on target 1 off target Maybe these stats doesn't mean much but if a team doesn't have chances, they can't score to win games.
No reason for this, not everyone has the same opinion as you. And that really has no bearing on how much of a Milan fan they might be.
You make it sound so easy. We had to play Catania on the weekend who made sure we were going to have to hustle for a draw. Unsurprisingly Milan was running on steam in the second half by running around and chasing down Barca players. Technically the job was accomplished at 1-1, and despite Barca being the most talented squad in the world, there was no indication that Barca would score from open play in the second half. Everybody likes to give Barca the benefit of the doubt because "they're soo great" etc. but it was just as likely that they would've gone on a offensive drought. Its not like it hasn't happened before.
You would be spitting nails if some Roma fan on the Roma forum dared to defend, say, Juventus. And even though I think the accusations against Juve are ludicrous, I would say that's natural and right on Roma's own forum. I wouldn't begrudge even Inter Merda fans the right to their own little corner to fantasize in. But whatever, I'll drop it. Milan's not my club anyway, though I respect them more than some of their own fans, obviously. It's an interesting part of the whole Barcaphile craze that you see so many alleged fans of other teams with Barca as their "second team" and they seem more passionate about defending Barca than their own. Brits are the worst on that, I guess because their own football is so pitiful, they embrace Barca to make a point that they "love the beautiful game" or some bullshit like that.
Yes, it's not easy. But remember Istanbul, Liverpool down 3-0 at halftime, pretty sure most us think it's done and dusted. But they fought back with 3 goals in 45 mins. Real champions don't go down without a fight at any circumstances. And all we needed is 1 goal in 49 mins to tie the game. But in reality, the game is 90 mins. When you said that Barca may not score again, the opposite can be said that there is always a chance we could have concede again.
That's a poor example because as good as that Milan team was, they weren't commanding over 70% possession, also they weren't falling down every 5 minutes while Liverpool were on the receiving end of a million yellow cards. But in reality... Barca couldn't score in 90 minutes in open play before so my point is based on precedent. Also, if they're pushing even harder in the second half, who's to say we couldn't score on the counter? You keep playing the 'benefit of the doubt' hand, but you don't seem to understand that football matches can be influenced indefinitely. Milan were never going to win in open play against Barcelona at home playing 'Barca' football, they were going to try and win playing the only way possible - DEFENDING. Ironically as poor as allegri has been in Europe, he got the tactics right in that game, and at 1-1 it was a completely different match.
Exactly Milan had them right where they wanted them at 1-1. Barca began to panic and Milan began to find more space going forward. Milan basically played the two legs by keeping Barca in front of them and patiently waiting for their chance to get the upper hand and to not chase the game. They finally were able to get the upper hand through Noce and it was taken away from them by the penalty. I laugh when I hear Barca fans claiming, well Iniesta scored so the penalty wouldn't have mattered in the end. What BS, it looked like Milan were going to frustrate Barca all night and even after having to chase the game Barca only scored 1 goal off a very fortunate deflection, despite all the room they had on the counter.
