Half-Time

AC Milan 3-0 Man. United – UCL – 2 May 07 May 4, 2007

After another thriller at the San Siro, Athens 2007 will be an Istanbul 2005 revisited as AC Milan book a place in the final against Liverpool. The Rossonero took their game to higher ground and in the process defeated a worn out Manchester United side 3-0. 

Kaka and Co. produced a wonderful team performance catching United early with 2 first half goals and then never looked back. They got the third in a counter attack late in the second half when Manchester United were all but beaten. The Red Devils were out of ideas and out of steam after their busy end-of –season schedule. All credit to Milan who most importantly looked very solid in the back in the absence of captain Maldini. So now it’s Liverpool-Milan for the second time in three seasons; I’ll be happy if we get 50% of the thriller we got last time. Best of luck all Liverpudlians!
