Lippi backs Italian trio
Italy boss Marcello Lippi has confidently predicted that all three Italian teams will progress to the semi-finals of the Champions League this week.
While Milan and Inter can be considered as in a strong position to reach the last four, the tactician has backed former club Juventus to defeat Arsenal on aggregate.
“Juventus are capable of anything,” said the Viareggio-based tactician on Monday. “Therefore, they could overturn Arsenal’s lead.”

Del boy's promise
By PAT SHEEHAN
ALESSANDRO DEL PIERO is ready to make a stunning comeback against Arsenal and immediately told the Gunners: It’s not over yet.
The Juventus captain was ruled out of the 2-0 first-leg defeat at Highbury with a thigh injury and was given little chance of making the Champions League quarter-final return.
But after round-the-clock treatment, Juve’s medical team told manager Fabio Capello his star striker was available to play in the second leg.
Del Piero, 31, will start on the bench and he insisted: “Wednesday night is Juve’s last call in Europe but we’ll try our best to tear up Arsenal’s semi-final ticket.
“We must produce all our best potential to overturn the tie.
“The English side should take care not to sing victory too early. On our pitch it will be a different tune.”

What a joker, Arsenal have never claimed the tie is over and rapped up!!
We are going to be careful.
Hurry up Wednesday - Wenger, get the lads out there and end this juve scare-mongering. The match is to be played on a pitch.
Let's prove that we can play good enough football to get us past a team we mauled in the first leg.
If you go out on Wednesday (Juve) it will be down to you losing the first leg.
All these Champions League come backs had some kind of decisive away goal in it and you did not score it, but if we do instantly the advantage is ours.
Wengers men will come out all guns blasing until the final whistle, if we go 5 - 0 up on aggregate with 20 minutes to go, he will instruct his team to score more. It's our way of defending.
