Champions League Semifinals

For the first time since 1999 england will have a team in the finals of the Champions League, while PSV proves to be the dark horse in this year's tournament but in the end I think that AC Milan will emerge victorious.

AC Milan has the fire power needed to capture the title. After dispatching Manchester United, rather easily and then beating city rivals Inter, AC Milan will defeat a scrappy PSV and then meet Chelsea in the finals. I think that Chelsea will find a way to defeat Liverpool, but I think those matches will be prove to be the best pairing of the tournament. Liverpool is playing above themselves and with the return of Cisse may have the solutions up front to give Chelsea a scare. But Chelsea is playing too well right now, they have the parts needed to defeat their Premiership rivals.

However in the finals I think we will see the experienced AC Milan defeat Chelsea. I think that Herman Crespo will play a huge role in that game. He is playing with a chip on his shoulder for how Chelsea treated him and will channel this to give AC Milan another Champion's League title.
