Although Nesta was not able to play due to injury, Milan beat Red
Star Belgrade on Tuesday 2-1 (goals by Pippo and Seedorf), to
eliminate the Serbian team on an aggregate score of 3-1, and enter
the CL proper. So those members who can only watch the CL but not
serie A can still get to see Nesta play in the coming season. :-)

The draw for the CL group phase was made on Thursday. Milan get a
group that look easy, on paper at least:

Group H
Milan
Lille
AEK Athens
Anderlecht

But Milan do have the annoying habit of struggling against "smaller"
teams. I hope they take these opponents seriously, and tie up first
place in the group as soon as possible so the first team can then
concentrate on making up the 8 point deficit in serie A, while the
reserves get a chance to get some European action.

Forza Nesta!
Forza Milan!
