Arrigo Sacchi backs Barcelona to beat AC Milan

Legendary Italian coach Arrigo Sacchi believes that AC Milan will struggle against Barcelona in their Champions League last-16 tie.

However, the 66-year-old says that the Italian club's "experience" could help them get the better of the Blaugrana.

"Watch out for Milan because they have a lot of international experience," Sacchi told reporters.

"If Barca are at their best it will be very difficult for Milan to qualify, but if they are not then Milan can win.

"Barcelona are on another level now, but Milan cannot be underestimated."

Sacchi coach Milan between 1987 and 1991 and again during 1996-97.
