Manchester United giant killer Luka Modric could make a shock summer move to Old Trafford according to the Daily Mail.

Arsenal's Lucas Podolski may be about to be caught in a summer tug-of-war with Italian giants Juventus and Spanish side Atletico Madrid vying with the North London club for the German international's services.

Talking of Arsenal and transfer targets, Barcelona are resigned to losing goalkeeper Victor Valdes to the Premier League club in the summer - unless fellow Spaniard Pepe Reina joins the Gunners instead.

Wow. The Daily Mail just doesnt take any prisoners, do they?

Thats a rough deal for Schalke now that Huntelaar is out with the MCL tear.

Milan will need a goal, can't see them not giving up another goal in the remaining 80 minutes.

Yup AC will need to score now.

Couldn't let Barca get one that quickly and expect to hold on.

They need to get out of this half. One way traffic.

Could be 3-0 already...two big saves from Abbiati.

Have to know you would get a fired up Barca today...back to back losses to Madrid plus the first leg...not a great combination for Milan.

Messi comes straight down the field and makes it 2-0!!!!!

TSN turning point.

Niang hits the post on a breakaway....Barca makes it 2-0 (2-2) on aggregate.

Milan are still creating on the counter with the speed of Niang and SES but that chance is going to haunt them. Barca will bury them now.

3-0 Barca now (3-2 on aggregate)

That Niang miss will end up being the difference as it would have changed the complexion completely.

Barca will go on to score 4 or 5 now.

Yup.

I don't mind when Barcelona play like this, there's a much faster pace to it.

Milan has weathered the storm and are attacking, looking for a late winner.

Well sometimes soccer can be great and sometimes you get crap like this.

Sucks to see Barcelona go on but UEFA will be happy.

Milan deserved a lot better but that miss by Niang ended up costing them.

I find the most exciting matches are generally the ones where the better team is behind.

Niang puts that it and Milan go through.

That miss was the turning point... Went from 3-1 with a road goal to 2-2 in seconds

Absolute domination. I'm glad that obvious as obvious can be penalty they were denied in the first half didn't get in the way of the result.

An early goal changes everything, they really looked good tonight. It was almost a carbon copy of the meeting in last year's QF.

You're going to razz me over one game? They been pretty poor the last year or so. Crap Chelsea held them last year and they haven't played a big team since, other the Real Madrid who beat them twice in a week.

They did play faster which was encouraging. If they can continue that, the other teams will have some more figuring out to do. Three more rounds to go, it'll be very fun to watch.

I'm not razzing you over one game. I'm razzing you over your silly statement that teams have figured them out based on ...... what? A grand sample size of a fortuitous win and a bad result in Milan.

You sure do have some strange arguments. They're running away with La Liga = pretty poor but you try and deflect that by saying they haven't played any good teams since?

By that standard neither have Man U, or Bayern.

...... therefore Barca have been pretty poor?

Because they're running away with it?
