Muntari flashed an early shot over the bar from long range for Milan.
Philippe Mexes made a vital cleaance at the other end to prevent Jordi Alba's cross reaching Pedro and though the same defender then handled Dani Alves' delivery, Pedro had already been flagged offside.
Stephane El Shaarawy's poor touch saw a good chance slip away but resulted in a corner, taken by the prolific young striker, from which Boateng shot just wide.
Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati held Xavi's well-struck 30-yard drive and El Shaarawy tracked superbly to the left-back position to break up another Barca attack.
Mexes collected the first yellow card for tripping Lionel Messi and as Barca pressed, Riccardo Montolivo prevented Pedro's backheel reaching Cesc Fabregas.
Boateng's cross eluded a sliding El Shaarawy before a goalless half petered out somewhat.

Appeal: Barcelona wanted a free-kick for handball in the build up but Boateng did not care"

Takeaway: Muntari's goal means Milan have a 2-0 lead to take to the Nou Camp"

 

Muntari played 29 times for Portsmouth, scoring four goals in the 2007-08 season. He also won the FA Cup while at the club. Muntari then signed for Inter Milan, before moving to rivals AC via a loan spell at Sunderland.
