Milan relive Istanbul

[adiman]

"I think that final was the best match this [AC] Milan side have ever played. Compared with the one against Juventus and against Liverpool [FC] in Athens, this one was way more spectacular, more beautiful, more exciting." Carlo Ancelotti recalls the pain of defeat on penalties to Liverpool in Istanbul in 2005.

Its true though.

 

I've never seen two teams so mismatched ability wise in a final (first half especially). It was sublime football.

it's strange but I remembered it that way too til I watched it again, they scored, passed well and scored another two on the break while we pushed for a goal. kaka aside it wasn't quite the mismatch i remembered, I'd say they played better in the second half in terms of possession.

They also had a goal disallowed wrongly don't forget.

4-1 in the first half then.

their second goal came straight after our penalty claim, so it wouldn't have been scored

 

3-1

We were robbed, we should have won the ............ hang on

[Gunga Din]

aye, and they should have had a man sent off after Stevie dived was fouled in the box

Its true that we should of had a clear pen that prob would have brought it back to 2-1, but looking back I don't think any Liverpool or Neutral fan in the world would have changed a single thing about that night...

 

Maybe Milan, Manure and the Blues***e might of though... Oh well!

Chelsea fans probably would rather the second half had gone slightly differently too.

Agreed - I'm glad we won the way we did, rather than say 6-0...which we should've saved for Athens. Oh, b******s
