Milan and Barcelona met four times in the last season's Champions League and in all clashes they showed attractive football and were great pleasure to watch by the fans. Of these four matches Barcelona won twice and two of them were draw. In all tournaments, Barcelona has not lost to AC Milan in the last eight games and given the form of "Catalans" victory for Milan seems difficult to achieve. Also, Barcelona has not been defeated in 22 of their last 24 games in the Champions League - a truly impressive statistics.
The team of Milan won four of their last five matches in Serie A and began to climb up in the standings. The "Rossoneri" already share the third place with Lazio and it seems that once again they will take quota for participation in the Champions League. For the good performance of Milan an important role has been played by Mario Balotelli, who unfortunately has no right to play in the Champions League matches. Besides him, there are a lot of important players who will miss the match with Barcelona due to injury. El Shaaravi, however, is ready to play after missing the win over Parma last weekend.
Compared to last season, Barcelona has significantly improved results in their matches as a guest. However, recent loss to Real Sociedad and loss at Celtic Park, show that "Catalans" are not absolutely unbeatable. Xavi and David Villa are still a question for this game, and any lack of Xavi will surely be felt in midfield for Barcelona. For Milan a good score at home in this game is extremely important because at the "Camp Nou" Barcelona plays tremendously successful.
