UEFA Cup

Milan should blame only them self and may be they don't deserve CL next season.

At least we can enjoy winning the UEFA cup for the first time.... but sigh thats just as sad as how Juve were celebrating winning the Serie B last year

I guess now you guys are questioning if I am a real Milan fan

IMO, Viola deserve a place in UCL more than we do. 4th-10th spots are where they should be, I think, and now that's where they are! It means they're more consistent.
in our side, we wear red-black but we play like we are not AC Milan.

No worries anyone can make mistakes.

The team that has the most points at the end of the next match will deserve it. Fio may not have the financial power and resources we have, but in the end it’s the results that count.

Yes, and if we compete in UCL next season, and lift the trophy up, it will fiancially be a benefit for Italy, especially Milano. Perhaps, More than half of italian are behind us now

I don't know what you guys think but, for me playing in Uefa Cup would be another experience on par with playing with Champions league.

As you may have noticed, Uefa cup has gotten very exiciting in the recent years. Some of the exciting matches that have taken place in the past:
-2008: Zenit vs Bayern & Rangers vs Fiorentina (at least or Rangers' fans)
-2007: Espanyol vs Sevilla (The final minutes were spectacular)
-2006 should be considered as an exception because Mcclaren the then manager of Middlesborough had signed for England as a result Middlesborough were disoriented against Sevilla.
-2005: Sporting vs CSKA (This was the best match in the last five years of UEFA cup history. Sporting (I think) were probably the first team in the history of the cup to play a final on their home turf. It was just a co-incidence. CSKA, in spite of being the only Russian team to have ever been in the final and playing it at the opponents home, beat Sporting 3-1. This was when talents like Vagner Love and Daniel Carvalho were first recognized.

These are just some matches on top of my head. There might be many more exciting matches.

Trust me guys, if we do end up qualifying for Uefa, we will have a great time watching matches because they are so unpredictable. Yes it will be humiliating but once you realize the magic of this great cup you will forget about everything.

Seeing that we will be adding a sizeable amount of new players, UEFA cup will serve as a stepping stone towards playing more important matches in UCL in the following years.

Also, some of the teams which have played in the UCL in recent years have had same opponents. For eg: Chelsea Barcelona, Milan Liverpool, Man U Roma, Chelsea Liverpool, etc.

Lets not be so pessimistic about this tournament. After all we create out destiny and we should accept the consequences of our actions.

So what do you guys think?

The only thing we should do in the UEFA is win it, like we should have not so long ago if it wasn't for a collapse. It's not a glamorous tournament, and it obviously lacks the revenue of the CL but if we are made to play in it then we should target nothing but glory. If there are a few good matches on the way all the better.

It's the only trophy missing from our huge display cabinet and we'd be part of the Exclusive club that have won CL, UEFA and Cup Winners Cup.

Well UEFA Cup football next season is a reality. I must agree with Gianni. I'm rather looking forward to it. It means we can aim for the Scudetto without the CL to distract us. If we were to win the UEFA Cup next season we would also have a shot at another european supercup.

carletto called it a purgatory; for me that says it all. Ac milan will lose a lot of money by playing eufa cup,and alot of top quality players would not want to join a team that is playing in a mikey mouse cup,but that is our destiney for now,so let's make the best of it.The scudetto it is next season.

Ambrogirl dont worry about players, good players will come for sure, players which will not come are not a great players, (i mean Amauri) that kind of players are not great, they only want to be a name that someone will remeber (i dont think so).
So baby, dont worry, Ronaldinho will come for sure and other players, remeber my words.
After all, Uefa cup is not a such a little deal. Another trophy, easy trophy in very tough concuration it will be great.

I'm feeling like it will be a good adventure for us next year. Remember back in the 90's when there was a real mix of teams-we played Salzburg in 94 i think...it will give us humility and a fresh approach to the seriousness of the scudetto and reaching the CL. I watched the uefa cup all year, and i enjoyed seeing the different teams and teams really going for it without as much pressure; and i want to add it to our trophy cabinet too!

I would prefer winning scudetto

Winning UEFA doesn't guarantee a place in UCL for us

I thought it does?

I don't see Milan not qualifying for CL next year.

I would also prefer winning the lo scudetto than the UEFA cup, though if we make it to the semi-final we should go to win it so that we can get another super cup .

If it's a choice I would also easily take the scudetto from those phantom 'champions' Merdas. My point was now that we are in it, we might as well win it to complete the collection, hell I want both lo scudetto and UEFA.

It's not so bad that we lost 4th place. It gives us breathing room and it will be easier for the younger players we will bring in. It's easier for, let's say, Paloschi to play in UEFA Cup than CL. There is less pressure.

And it allows the group to grow.

bayern munich tought that they would easily get UEFA so it's not easy to win!

We should we the scudetto, lift the UEFA cup, and beat the sh!t out of the CL winner in the UEFA Supercup! That would be a pretty good season.
