Majestic AC Milan cruise past United 3-0 (Well - Done) as United turn in their worst performance of the season A very disappointing night for United http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2002390000-2007200426,00.html But credit to Ferguson the man. As ever, he was at his best in defeat, applauding Milan as he said: “They were better prepared, sharper, quicker to the ball and they pressed well. They were good winners.†Well done Sir Alex you set a fine example of sportsmamship and we are proud of you
Yes he is relaly great sportmen for me. While Jose always find Referee's foults but never find in theit team weakness. It is sad day for us and Manu out from Europe now but they reach Semi-finals after so many years. Now they have to do good in EPL and they might completed EPL title this weekend.
Playing Vidic was a major mistake imho, he's good but he was clearly not fit they should have gone with Heinze,Brown, Fletcher, O Shea at the back.
Yeh Vidic is a quality defender. But he hadn't played since the 24th of March. Its a lot too ask of him too play a good game in a champions league semi, he was woefully out of form. It cost them in the end. I thought wez brown was not good either. But Ac Milan were all class. And too me Seedorf for his long range missiles and Kaka for his overall brilliance, are 2 of the best players in the world at the moment. I also thought Rooney was way too quiet and Christiano Ronaldo was marked by two men and MAN u failed too capitalize on it. Who are you guys tipping for the final, its the same as 05 Liverpool vs Milan in Athens. I have a feeling Milan will take this one. But Liverpool are a totally different team in the champions league.
Well Heinze is also suck for me and we saw he made many mistakes in last few matches. We are really missing Evra. United miss the chance after have lead from first leg. This is only second time happen when Manchester United lost the match even taking lead from first leg. Last time in 1958 Milan knocked out them after taking lead in first leg. It is not bad record for Manchetser United because they lost only 2 out 24 matches where United have a advantage.
The rain didn't help their cause- the second goal could be blamed on Vidic because he slipped, but you need to remember the guy who backpassed in the first place. Milan were the better side, and United were simply not good enough to get past their Italian opponents. One might have few complaints with the ref, but it wouldn't have changed the outcome of the game..
Well for me refree done excellent job for this match. Evereyone accept that we played well and we just maintian our bad records too, We just won 2 semi-finals out of 8. While Milan won 9 out 11. This will give better idea. But Manchester united played well whole season but weak defence make this difference. Just imagine if we played with all four defenders that it should be different story/
Whatever anyone says about this game,as a life long United supporter The reality is quite simple AC Milan were majestic on the night, and gave United a footballing 'master class' Much as it hurts all United Supporters AC Milan put on a display of awesome football and very well done to them
Yes Milan was majestic on the night and we were bad on that day. I am sure reaction of this lost will be see in Manc match. I am not suprized if we will win the match by 3-0 or 4-0.
I think its a shame that the final is between AC Milan and Liverpool again, both teams aren't anything that special at the moment; yes, Milan have one of the best players in the world in Kaka, and Gattusso/Seedorf are both quality too, but I don't think Milan are near the side they used to be with Shevchenko etc. Liverpool are going to finish third in the Premiership, and yes they did well beating Chelsea etc but I don't think they are anything special either. I think this season has been quite strange for the Champions League, there has been no "stand out" team, Barca have been average this season, as have Real Madrid, and Man Utd have played average throughout the champs league (except one match against Roma). Chelsea have been quite average too, so i'm not that surprised that Liverpool have made it to the finals again. One positive thing is that the english clubs have all done well this season in the champs league, which is a good indicator that the premiership is still probably the strongest league in the world Lets just hope we beat City at the weekend and that Arsenal can do something against Chelsea... Matt
Yes we will ready to win EPL title at this weekend. Arsenal will supports us well. I must say Gattusso make the difference in this match. He blocked all passes from middle to front.
Badbob you have a point, but if you have noticed in recent times Liverpool and Milan generally play well in Europe. Liverpool for instance have a better European record than domestic and Milan just seem to get things going their way- Can't forget the edition where they sneaked past Lyon in the quarters
Dude you obviously have no idea about football and technical ability. I have never seen Milan have a better game (from the games I have seen them play). They were completely dominant and made one of the best players in the world, in Ronaldo, look lacking. Shevchenko is an overated player IMHO.
Good post and especially as I know you know your football dcristo Of course bad_bob00 (so we are buddies) is one of us a United supporter but on a pure footballing basis, AC Milan have the footballing nous to succeed in the present Champions League, and to me they look an out and out cut above the rest
Yeah you are right. Milan took control on very first minitue and you can saw that they played speedy football untill they get a goal. Even they taken Throw-in very fast. They stopped Ronlaldo who rellay damaged to any team but on that day Milan was best team.
United go 8 points clear at the top as they beat Manchester City 1-0 the winning goal scored from the penalty spot by Ronaldo
We are very close to clinch this year seson title. If Arsenal beat Chelsea or drew with them then We won EPL tonite. I am waiting for that game.
