On his birthday, another statement that makes you smile. "Milan is stronger than Barcelona", said Silvio Berlusconi. The Italian Prime minister and number one Rossonero loves a joke. And so the last comment is to be taken as one.  At the moment between AC Milan and Barcelona, there is an abyss. The draw at Camp Nou can not be misunderstood. If Milan wants to win again in Europe they still have a long way to go.
Injuries can not hide the limitations of a team that is still lacking. The midfield without Boateng, who is expected to return on Sunday does not work, and solution of Aquilani and Emanuelson is not satisfactory. Against the modest Viktoria Plzen we saw a static, slow, team with no great ideas, along the lines of the one who beat Cesena, and that two weeks ago lost to Naples. Ibrahimovic removed, Cassano is the only one capable of inventing, but does not guarantee the continuity that a great team like Milan needs. Barcelona remains the strongest, like many other teams in Europe. Despite the challenge from Berlusconi. Actions speak louder than words.
