The missed penalty in the Serie A derby against Inter Milan cost AC Milan’s Brazilian star Ronaldinho approximately 20 points in the FTBL system. He will have an opportunity to redeem himself in the coming league game against No. 16 Livorno. The game will knock out the 0:2 loss to Palermo from the list of his Last Five games. The loss cost him 3 points in the FTBL system.

A win would add 15-20 points to Ronaldinho’s overall score, but the stats seem to indicate a draw is more likely here; 6 of the last 10 games between the two teams have ended in that score.

Ronaldinho, who is in relatively good form at the moment, should be able to produce a good performance. Prior to the defeat to Inter, he had 6 goals in 3 straight games. We still believe Milan will win this one, and Ronaldinho will return into the top echelon of the world ranking of midfielders.
