Wednesdays Champions league tie of Arsenal Vs AC Milan seems to be one of the most interesting and exciting ties thus far in this years competition. The old great experience of AC Milan against the fresh pacey Arsenal, this is intriguing for many reasons.

You cannot rule out AC Milan, people have suggested that because Milan are having a horrible domestic season this will surely be the case in Europe. Remember this is the team that are the reigning Champions of Europe and the World Club champions, that is significant as it is a sure confidence booster for the team. AC Milan are a typical Italian side in the sense that they know how to slow games and get a result. Players such as Maldini and Seedorf step up for important occasions such as the Champions league, this is highlighted with the fact that Milan have won the European cup 7 times compared to Arsenal's 0. Also you cannot ignore the talents of Kaka, Pirlo and the new talent that is Pato, which has reguvinated the Italian side since the Christmas break.

However that does not mean Arsenal will now turn into whopping side for Milan. They are a team that are five points clear and also have a striker that is joint top scorer in the league in Adebayor. They are team this season that continue to surprise the critics who predicted Arsenal not even qualifying for the Champions league. They are hungry and want to win and also prove that life does go on after Henry. The squad is definately talented and players want to show they are not just a progressing club that dont win anything, giving them a club such as European giants Milan will ensure all the players step up their game.

For a neutral fan this game on wednesday is mouth watering, will we see the old experience of Milan finally give in and pass the batton on the new talents of Arsenal? Or will there be a continuation of dominance by Milan in Europe?

As i am a gooner myself i'm hoping we see the Arsenal side shine through.
