FC Barcelona´s heroic win at San Siro yesterday night was the first home defeat for Milan in nearly three years of European competition.


Barca´s superb victory should dent moral of the Milan team by smashing the impressive home record over the past Champions League seasons. It was Milan´s first European home defeat since December 2003 and Barca ended this 13-match unbeaten run. So far this season, Milan had won four of their home CL matches and conceded just one goalless draw against PSV Eindhoven.


The last time Barca beat Milan at San Siro was in the 1959-60 season when FC Barcelona won a European Cup match 0-2 with the goals scored by Vergés and Luis Suárez. Since that night, Barca had visited the legendary San Siro stadium on three occasions: losing twice and drawing once.


But also Barca can look back on an impressive record in Europe this season. With just one more game separating them from the Champions League Final in Paris on May 17th, Barca are enjoying a truly superb run in the Champions League. They have now played 11 matches, winning no less than 8 and conceding just 3 draws away to Panathinaikos (0-0), at home to Chelsea (1-1) and away to Benfica (0-0).
Barca's dominant role in the Champions League this year is also backed by the goals scored and conceded statistics. The Barcelona team scored 22 goals this season and this means no other team has scored more often than Barca. FC Barcelona also conceded only 4 goals. Only Arsenal, who have conceded 2 goals but with one game pending against Villarreal tonight have conceded less so far.
