AC Milan vs Spurs should be a really entertaining tie that can go either way, and I figure there will be lots of goals. These are two of my favourite teams so I am kinda dissapointed they drew each other.
Milan is weak at LB and RB so Bale and Lennon should be able to take advantage of that with their pace and skill. Plus if Thiago Silva is still injured Nesta will struggle with Van Da Vaart on his own in the centre of the pitch.
Spurs also have some weaknesses at the back, and could be very vulnerable depending on the health of some players . Especially considering I am not sure they have the defense that can contain Ibrah, Ronaldinho, and Robinho even when 100% healthy.
Milan has a big edge with the forwards with Ibrah and the Brazilians being world class, and that being a struggle for Spurs outside of Defoe.
Tottehham have the edge in the midfield due to he current form of Bale and VDV, but that really depends on what Pirlo and Gattuso show up for Milan since they can still be great on certain days.
Defense depends on the health of both squads with the slight edge to Milan due to Nesta and Silva being an elite CB pairing when healthy.
Really a good match up that can go either way, I give the slight edge to Milan due to their experience in these stages of the Champions League.
