Still anybody's ballgame

The Rossoneri still maintains top position on quotient (tied in points) over Juve in Serie A play. I think this will end up in a great showdown at San Siro. They are preparing for their second round semifinal at PSV in Champions League.

Here's from acmilan.com:

SMALL ADVANTAGE
5/2/2005 10:42:00 AM
Milan have got the first leg out of the way, just like the Serie A trip to Fiorentina, and have a small advantage going into the Champions League semi-final return at Eindhoven on Wednesday. The Rossoneri players may not be relaxed and confident, but that is how they are approaching their next encounter against the Dutch rivals. PSV demonstrated that they are an excellent side who have plenty of respect within the Rossoneri dressing room, so nothing will be taken for granted until the final whistle is blown at the Philips stadium. The tie is still open and even though Paolo Maldini, Kakha Kaladze and Massimo Ambrosini will be all back to the team, the side will have to focus their concentration on the game, showing the same willingness for the task as they did last week in the first round. The players were back in training following the league win at Florence, with the same professionalism they always possess. If they keep going on like this, then there is nothing to stop them from competing on two fronts. It is going to be a fascinating and arduous run-in until the end of the season. The duel at the top of Serie A with Juventus is both tough and stimulating, the same can be said about Europe. However, the fans seem just as determined to give their all in getting behind the side in the final weeks of the season.
