If you watch any highlight package today you'll see 4 Milan highlights.

Muntari shooting over the bar (first half)
Boatang shooting wide (first half)
Boatang scoring
Muntari scoring

I cannot think of a single Barcelona highlight. They could not adapt to Milan's marking. Perhaps they have no coach to make halftime changes. I can't see that changing in the 2nd leg.
I totally agree with you, Barcelona created no chances because Milan had 9 players behind the ball defending Barca's attack. There was no room to be had for barca, and yes coaching has been a bit of an issue this season for Barca with Tito in New York for cancer treatment the since December. That shouldn't be an excuse and I don't know if it is, who knows what goes on in the dressing room.

Milan played a great game on their part, they attacked more than most teams do against Barca. They played them more in the way that Real Madrid play them
