what's so funny? That's precisely in line with Conte's mathematics 
... After all, they did get a gift of a PK when Milan was having their best period in the 2nd game.
even with all the absences for Milan, Barca have their work cut out for them and Pep knew that even before the draw, namely thanks to those 2 games they played vs Milan in the groups

In that case, Milan should be relegated if we count the dubious PKs
the ones that mattered were all good PKs, except the one vs Bologna, maybe ... the one vs Xavi was non-existent, not dubious ... but let's not pretend you don't know what I am talking about - it's part of life when you play Barca in Europe these days
he won't be alone vs them, after all and it's not like a 35 old Nesta, who's as slow as molasses these days, had the speed and still locked down Messi's ass at the Camp Nou. With top defenders it's about reading the game, anticipation, positioning first and foremost ... if you know how to that well, you won't have to chase after your man as much
Stam would have eaten CR7 alive, imo, as for that shifty little shit Messi, it would depend on whether Xavi and Iniesta are playing too - if yes, then Stam would need some help from the other CB, if not - then he could just take a 90 min vacation

As for Nesta, the guy's way different defender than Stam, Stam's more of the agressive abuser while Nesta is the cold-blooded wall, if you get me 
It doesn't matter now anyway; too late for them. They are 10 points behind Lazio in 3'rd, and with 9 games to go, I don't see Lazio dropping 10 points, Inter getting 27, and all teams cushioned in between them failing to capitalize.
I feel it's going to be Milan, Juventus, and Napoli (possibly Lazio) in the CL next year.

Read the article about Milan's injury crisis on FI. I think the main problem of their's is their collection of highly injury prone players, I mean look at this list, no one would ever expect these group of players to all be fit at the same time.
Nesta - very injury prone
Aquilani - always injured apart from last season
Pato - always injured
Gattuso - old and kinda injury prone
Flamini - if i recall correctly, at least half of his time at Milan he's been injured
Inzaghi - old and injury prone
Ambrosini - very injury prone
Boateng - so fragile had to retire from NT footie as 24yo
Zambrotta, Ibra, Van Bommel, Abbiatti are all getting older and all have experienced good amount of injuries
Cassano - not injury prone, but he's been overweight since his Real Madrid days
When you look at the risks Galliani and Allegri have taken with this squad, it becomes kinda clear that 9-10 injuries for Milan counts as 3-4 for a normal healthy team, I doubt any other teams have such a nice collection of treatment table lovers.
