So Milan beat Spurs 1 -0 in the first leg of the roundest last 16 Champions League tie after a great Brian Diaz goal and a fantastic defensive display. But there were two missed chances that some have suggested they could end up regretting.
Speaker: Do you think they will, Carlo? I think Tottenham are our favorites to go through, slight favorites. But I do think Milan have got a chance. I think they need to be a little bit more attacking, a little bit more positive. I think they also need their three big guns back, Manon, Tamoori, Beneser, because it's a completely different game in London with that crowd behind them. But at the same time, you know,
Speaker: This isn't a good Tottenham team. They don't have any pace in the team or in attack. They're really not having a good season. And, you know, they play, they've got four games, three games in the space of a week before the second leg. Milan only have two. I think that's in Milan's favour. So I think Milan have, they do definitely have a chance to go through.
Speaker: So, Inter drew 0 -0 with Sampdoria, they fought even further behind in the Scudetta race, but the big talking point from the match was that foul -mouthed argument between Barella and Lukaku. Lukaku calling Barella a son of a bitch. Whose side are you taking on this, Nimr?
Speaker: I'm not on anyone's side. I think both have a point. I do understand why Barrella got angry at Romelu Lukaku, rooted to the spot like a tree when he's supposed to be going for the ball. But I also understand that Nicola Barrella, who's been touted as captain material,
Speaker: won't ever be a captain if he continues to behave like a child in a supermarket whose parent has told him that he can't have candy for tea today. That behavior is unacceptable and he needs to stop that. He did it against Laotard and the Derby. It needs to stop immediately.
