Lazio, Barcelona, and Napoli. AC Milan's strength will be measured in nine days. The match with Lazio has not given a clear indication: a good performance in the attack, but not so good in the defense. The midfield appearead unfocused, slow and not in good shape. Aquilani, Nocerino, Van Bommel and Ambrosini have not impressed.

Perhaps it is too early to make a judgement, but Barcelona is just around the corner and AC Milan don't seem ready for such an important match. The team we saw yesterday is risking a "Manita"...
