Milan came into the game ready to ride the 4-0 agg advantage. They didn't expect Arsenal to press they way the did, and they certainly didn't believe Arsenal could put 4 past them and keep a clean sheet. That strategy nearly sent them crashing out. And Milan DESPERATELY need a left back. It's been the weak link in the team all season. They need someone to fill the 'Maldini role'. Abysmal defending from the Italians last night, but credit to the Arsenal boys for punishing them for defensive errors.

The way they're playing now, I think that conclusion is entirely possible. I wonder if we can pull something together under Robbie Di Mateo to finish in the top 4 ahead of Spurs.
