Bayern Munich vs Fiorentina
UEFA Champions League (2008 First Phase) (Group F)
Stadium: Old Trafford, England
Match Time: 19:45 UK

ayern Munich coach Jurgen Klinsmann remains hopeful striker Luca Toni will be fit to face former club Fiorentina in the Champions League on Tuesday despite suffering bruised ribs in Saturday's Bundesliga win at Karlsruhe.

The 31-year-old Italy frontman was substituted five minutes before half-time of the 1-0 victory due to sore ribs, and was forced to sit out Sunday's training session.

Toni is desperate to have recovered in time for his Group F reunion with the Viola and will receive intensive treatment right up to kick-off.

FC Zürich vs AC Milan Highlights Video 10/02/08

FC Zürich vs AC Milan
While Zurich were outmatched and got a good look at what Milan are capable of two weeks ago, they will not easily recognize the side they face on Thursday. Milan are now a much improved team, and the confidence and self-assuredness of the players seems to have gone through the roof.

In the Derby della Madonnina on Sunday, the Rossoneri were the better side, even if they kept the 1-0 score secure largely in part to Inter Milan’s inability to finish their attacking movements; but it wasn’t just that. Milan had the better of the chances, and each time they had possession in the final attacking third of the field, you almost got the sense they could have scored.

When Milan and Zurich first met, Milan were unsure of themselves following two losses in their first two matches of the season, against Genoa and Bologna of all teams. Now, Milan are brimming with confidence, and must feel that they can go all the way in the UEFA Cup, even if it is viewed by most in the Milan camp as a secondary goal.

Zenit St Petersburg manager Dick Advocaat has joined his club in expressing his dismay at allegations that the Russian club won the UEFA Cup by virtue of match-fixing.

Zenit celebrated UEFA Cup final success with a final win over Rangers in Manchester.
Spanish newspaper El Pais claimed a judge had forwarded information to German prosecutors which claimed a gang with links to the Russian mafia had given money to Bayern Munich before their semi-final earlier this year.

Zenit beat the Bundesliga outfit 4-0 in the second leg of their semi-final, before getting past Rangers in the final to lift the UEFA Cup.

With Bayern also denying the allegations, the Russian club have threatened legal action. In a statement on their official website, they said last: "In a selection of the media, news has popped up which refers to different Spanish sources, and directly affects FC Zenit's reputation.

"The quality of play shown by FC Zenit in the games against Rangers FC and Bayern Munich is the best proof that the victories were earned by Zenit in honest and non-compromising challenges."

"Allegations of deals mentioned in the media are offensive to all parties mentioned.

Advocaat was appalled by the allegations. "This is incredible," he told the Daily Record. "All I can say is let them play the tapes so we can hear what has been said. Then everyone will know what a big lie it is.

"Everyone knows the simple truth - we had a better team than Rangers. That's why we won the UEFA Cup.

"Rangers played very well, but we were the better side. There was no mystery. I don't know why anybody would say something like this.

"There is a lot of jealousy about what we have achieved with Zenit in such a short space of time. People don't like the fact that we have been so successful so quickly.

"But that has nothing to do with bribes or dirty money. It has everything to do with the quality of the players and coaching staff. That's why we have achieved so much."

Advocaat also dismissed suggestions either Rangers or Bayern could be bought to throw a match and also insisted Zenit's mega-rich owners Gazprom would never indulge in such tactics.

He said: "Do you honestly think clubs like Bayern Munich or Rangers would get involved in taking money to lose football matches? That is just ridiculous.
