Not really.

Nadir-----Montero, his penalty two years ago in the CL Final. Dida jumped off his line three feet in front of his goal and started dancing from the left and to the right and saved.
Nothing wrong with it, and Dudek did the same thing. Anything to win is justified in a final.

Galliani confirmed Ancelloti stays.

Should we consider that good news?

im so heart broken.. i honestly started to hear echoes in my head of milan fans cheering and liverpool fans .. why the hell didnt any milan fans come today

I think GUUS HIDDINK is the right man for the job.
His teams are solid and don't play like a bunch of Sunday lunch drunks.

how many teams do you know that go up 3-0 TWICE in the space of 10 days and throw that away?

Agree with you, Nadir. In fact JDT and Kaka scored their penalties in a very professional way. Saddly, it was our best PK takers that failed to take theirs but again this game should have never gone to penalties.
Now we are the first team to have ever lost a final after taking a 3-0 lead. JDT is not the one who should be blamed for this for he has been very good for us in the past month or so.

thanks,

but to point out, I don't think they are justified. We got away with it, we are Milan fans, we are ok with that, juventino may be bitter but there is nothing they can do. Just like us now.

That said, Dudek IS A HUGE ASS!!! Fvck him!!!

Filippo Inzaghi will not even have the chance to play this evening as Carlo Ancelotti decided to place 'Super-Pippo' in the stands.
The Milan striker wasn’t expected to start, but the reasons why he won't even get to sit on the bench are unclear as no last minute injury appears to have hit him.

Italian television station Sky Sport 1 is reporting that Ancelotti and Galliani had a strong discussion over Inzaghi’s exclusion.

Shevchenko and Crespo will form the AC Milan starting striking duo, while Tomasson will be ready to come-off the bench.

--------

I am officially confused.

this is terrible.. we used to make fun of inter and they always say there's always next season, and all i see here is, we'll do it next season

even inter can have the coppa italia this season!!!! i mean, maybe not winning anything is a huge loss, but a bigger bigger loss is that, INTER MIGHT WIN SOMETHING and we didnt!

GRRRR IM SO ANGRY and sad AND depressed i hate this i want to leave istanbul right now

Yup, even Maradona-Kempes noticed this. I mean, 24 hours before the match it was Crespo or Inzaghi and all of the sudden Pippo didnt even dress.
Mmmm....

he is definitely one for Milan, along with Tassoti ... but only after Carlo has decided to leave. I know it is the coach's job to keep concentration high but sometimes things don't depend entirely on him alone - players are also to blame for fall out like the one we witnessed tonight.

pippo didn't even make the bench. it's ok because ancelotti's tactics in terms of attack worked fine - they scored 3 goals. what more can you ask? that being said, the team's attitude stunk.

Also, confirmation that Carlo stays Milan's coach.


SILVIO BERLUSCONI: 'Milan played better'
5/26/2005
ISTANBUL - Silvio Berlusconi spoke after the game: 'Football is like politics: one thinks they have won and then you don't. Liverpool's three goals were very strange. They had three chances and took them while we had plenty at the end. Milan played really well. As for Carlo Ancelotti leaving, I don't think so. I don't sack anyone.'
-=============

let's be clear about one thing - milan lost the game in attitude. not because of the ref, not because of PK's, not because of the coach, or the tactics - just attitude. and this is the most base, lowest denominator. if attitude is missing, then we shouldn't even complain about ref's decisions, because it is like saying, "we don't have any money to buy bread but we want to complain about the clothes that the bread salesman is wearing."

ANCELOTTI: 'We weren't second to anyone'
5/26/2005
ISTANBUL - Carlo Ancelotti had nothing to reproach his players apart for the six minutes when Liverpool got back into the game: 'There is plenty of disappointment, we were a step there then it fell apart. We played well throughout except for six minutes of insanity that threw everything all away. However, I am not going to reproach my players, they did everything they could. We have shown in Europe that we are not second to anyone. We will be back to win this cup. I repeat, we are the strongest in Europe.'

I'll be honest. After reading this I have hope. In a week this bullsh*t will be forgotten and a new year will begin for our Milan.
