Credit to Ancelotti and Inzaghi

European Football Milan, Liverpool
comment on the article

I think we all know that Ancelotti only had to make one tough decision when picking his starting XI. I would have been fairly please if he had listened to Silvio Berlusconi and picked Gilardino as I think he is the second most overrated player in Serie A (After Ibrahimovich). On the other hand Inzaghi is a proven goalscorer, and from what I've seen of Milan, they play better with him in the team (I felt they were better vs Man Utd with Inzaghi as the front man than when Gilardino was up front) and I actually like him as well (even if he did score twice yesterday!). If there's one thing we lacked last night, it was a clinical finisher, and Inzaghi is certainly that. Well done Ancelotti and Milan

you are perfectly right.
That's why England is waiting from 1966.

the second milan goal was just beautiful.Kudos to inzaghi who still at this age and time reads the game with such mental alertness,his composure, impeccable. Liverpool showed great character and set an example to how Man United couldve played.They still set their standards high at the European stage,Rafa,hats off, i expect alot next season, he has turned tables at Anfield. Personally though, i wouldve loved to see a Chelsea Milan final.

'ref did well not givig a red card and only playing 2 minutes of injury time when there was 3 scheduled as well as two subs?! nice.
ac were very fortunate.' - designbyvinny

The ref actually gave 2 minutes and 43 seconds. Whether pool would have equalized in 13 seconds is another issue. I thought that Liverpool was very fortunate to score by the way.

Well done Milan.

You won the CL and that's a great achievement. Thought the game was very close. You deserved your win. You had a bit of luck in Athens,we had it in Istanbul.

You've made some good points. The game was a bit tactical and lacked scoring opportunities.

Your keeper wasn't troubled much even though we had a lot of possession.

This game showed the sheer class and category of Milan and Liverpool. Although your team is ageing and we still don't have a world-class attack, we got to the final sending the likes of Bayern,Man Utd,Chelsea and Barça home early.

12 CLs between us. The future's bright.

Dear oh dear, am i reading things correctly, can i see people say milan deserved that win? they were just as poor as liverpool, they had just as many non attempts at goal and for inzaghi to say they rehearsed that 1st goal is the biggest load of crap i've ever heard, he had no idea that ball was about to hit him n dribble in! italian football the best aswell, i doubt that, i dont know anybody who likes watching Italy internationaly or at club level, yeah they won the world cup but they should of against a poor france side!, face it, italian football is boring, thats why nobody tried to buy any of the juventus players after thay had gone down either! just like every final i've seen milan in since 1994 (which was a great game) they've sent me to sleep, remember AC Milan vs Juventus? that was the worst and most boring final in the history of the champions league i think!
