Even though I hate it....

There is still a chance to get AS Monacao who've qualified already and who holds some big budget money as well. I've no complains letting you take United, but the upcoming news might be terrible for you.

Excellent !! well done Milan players . Balotelli is actually useful probably he's been the best player for us in a while. Assisting Llorente in the previous fixtures and now he has scored his 2nd goal . Great to see Neuer getting another clean sheet (Maybe I'll promote him to play as a midfielder next time) . Besides , very happy with the new signing,he's added options to our attack.

Kevin De Bruyne the young gun,my most underrated and unappreciated player. Deserved the Man of the match, scoring & assisting.

Overall very happy with the team's performance against a very aggressive side with world class players. Few more good performances and we'll qualify for the Quater finals.
