Safely dispatched (3-1)

This time, it can be said that AC Milan stood not much chances against Barça.
Maybe because Guardiola's team was touched by the Luck's wand, as, after a quite confused mess of culé and rossoneri legs fighting for the ball, Messi takes it and is immediately hunted down by Philippe Mexès, maybe the most brutal rossoneri defender.
A large-as-a-building penalty. So? You know the rest (1-0)(min. 10)
But when things were lookin' good, the frozen jar arrived: after an almost impossible individual play by Robinho, by leaving Busquets and Xavi stuck with an amazing feint, narrowly avoiding a tackle by Puyol, and if you thought he was over to Mascherano, not at all, because he had time to see Antonio Nocerino alone and connect an almost impossible through pass before being struck down by "El Jefecito", thing that Nocerino used to get in front of Valdés and not forgive (although he actually is a defensive midfielder)(1-1)(min. 32)
After the rossoneri believed it, the match became a broken ball madness until minute 42, when Xavi was taking a corner, and Busquets and Nesta's particular fight ended in the very veteran defender (36 years old) flooring Busquets after an outraging shirt pull inside the area. After a mess of players talking with the referee Björn Kuipers, it could finally be determined that it was what it had to be: a penalty. You know the rest (2-1)(min. 42)
things went on 'till minute 53, when Iniesta used a disastously cleared ball by Mexès (the french defender almost gave it to him) to gently define past Abbiati (3-1)(min. 53)
Phew. Safely but anxiously dispatched.
Next rival is Real Zaragoza (Champions league rests again to let La Liga in), team that seemed almost dead, but Manolo Jiménez touched them with a magic wand and they are now brawling to get out of the downtown zone.
So, next Saturday, 20:00, PPV, in La Romareda stadium, Zaragoza-Barça.
That's all for now, folks, see ya after the Zaragoza-Barça!!
