"it's an advantage to play at home at the san siro, with our public behind us. milan have always showed that we are ready for these kind of matches. tomorrow (tuesday), all the team will be trying our best to go through. it will not be an easy match - but it will not be for arsenal, either." super caption: kakha kaladze, a.c. milan defender. milan have triumphed in the european cup four times - and the uefa champions league three times. the seven-time winners have also successfully negotiated this stage of the competition in all four seasons since it was introduced in 2003, as ancelotti knows. soundbite: (italian). "i'm confident because this team has always managed to find the right attitude when playing this type of match. we go from the 0-0 of the first leg, a result that obliges us to be careful, but that does not mean we won't face the game with courage. we have to play with cleverness through all the match, we will not hurry but be patient, looking to get the control of the match which is important. the champions league is in this club's dna." super caption: carlo ancelotti. milan have won their last four home matches in the champions league, and are unbeaten in six at home. although influential midfielder clarence seedorf is a major doubt for the holders, and fellow midfielder emerson is also set to miss out, arsenal's central defender kolo toure has not recovered in time from his calf injury. however, dutch striker robin van persie is set for a place on the bench after five months out with a persistent thigh injury. arsenal will be ecstatic if they can emulate their recapture the form shown on one of their most famous nights away in europe - when thrashing milan's arch-rivals internazionale five-one at the san siro back in november 2003. soundbite: (english).
