Guardiola: Offer to lead his team to back-to-back Champions League titles
Champions League holders Barcelona begin their title defense with a tie look hard at home to Serie A giants AC Milan

With 11 Champions League titles between the two sides, this clash of Group H is not some game we expect to see in the opening round of group matches.

With the appearance over the final seven of them - including Milan's 4-0 romp over Barca in 1994 - obviously this match-up brings with more polish than many other games that took place throughout Europe this week.

After the glory of Wembley May against Manchester United Barca boss Pep Guardiola started this year's European campaign knows his side have won back-to-back since Tuesday versus Milan in 1989 and 1990.

But for the widely considered the best in the world today, a challenge they appear also capable of matching.

Milan won the last of their seven titles in 2007 when they beat Liverpool in Athens. But they failed to get past the first knockout round since - failed even to qualify in 2008 - which probably represents a relative decline in Italian football in recent years.

They went into this game as underdogs therefore, although the group also contain small fish and Viktoria Plzen BATE Borisov, qualification through to the next stage should be a formality for the giants of Europe.

Courage

AC Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri has urged his team to 'play with courage' at the Nou Camp as they attempt to fix a run of just two wins in their last 13 Premier League matches.

They also failed to score in their last three Champions League matches - two of them against the Spurs in the first knockout round last year. The Rossoneri have never previously drawn a blank in row four games in major European competitions.

After a delayed start his domestic campaign Allegri late start their Serie A title defense with a 2-2 draw against Lazio on Friday.

Barcelona is also a 2-2 draw last weekend, although Guardiola will be looking for a reaction from his players after they let slip a two-goal lead against Real Sociedad.

They also will try to carry on the run that has seen them score a goal in their last 21 Champions League games, stretching all the way back to November 2009. They helped, of course, by the irrepressible Lionel Messi, top scorer in the competition over the last three years.

Former Barca striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic will miss the opportunity to play against his old club after an absence due to adductor injury.

Midfielder Gennaro Gattuso hobbled during the game Lazio but was delayed in Europe for four games still follow the famous head-butt Tottenham assistant boss Joe Jordan last season. Mark van Bommel is expected to replace him in midfield.

The signing of the summer Philippe Mexes was also absent through injury and suspension both.

Alexis Sanchez will miss Barcelona clash after being sidelined for two months with a hamstring injury suffered against Real Sociedad.

Gerard Pique has not played since the Spanish Super Cup win over Real Madrid last month and will again be absent. Carles Puyol though returning to the bench at the weekend and is expected to make a return to the starting line-up.
