This was only AEK after all, widely recognised as one of the weakest teams in the competition, so i don't see this being a yardstick for the rest of our season. All it can be is an exercise into getting fitness and fluency.

A professional performance considering the circumstances i think.

hmm, tbh, those reviews seem pretty dodgy. I honestly saw a good Milan out there, fluid movement and playing at a decent pace, never losing control of the match. Honestly, there were few misplaced passes and I think these were no more than you'd get in any match.

The only real weakness I could see were AEK were at times almost being invited to cross from their right wing, but that was usually dealt with comfortably.

I think Kris' ratings were pretty fair (few disagreements from me), with the exception of Kaka, who I thought was tremendous (7.5 with Gourcuff for me). For me he played like a leader, and in the end, scoring and assisting a goal is enough for me
