it wasnt luck ..
they cheated
I AS a Milan fan thought about this too and actually posted in the Italian Serie A thread. However, I then saw the game...during the second half with Chievo leading they wasted more than 8.5 minutes getting up/stalling, etc. Paparesta gave them 5 minutes of extra time. Which is OFTEN SEEN...
In extra time at the 46th minute....Marchegiani takes a fall and stays down for 4 minutes 21 seconds. Paparesta makes a hand signal to Chievo after he finally gets up ..NOW and 4 minutes...till the end. He simply stopped the time because otherwise Marchegiani ATE UP ALL the extra time.
Cheating: see Juventus-Bologna. Zambrotta dive. See 1998 Parma-Juventus: last minute Cannavaro goal re-called for "confusion in the box". A call that was created THAT day and was never called again. See Juve and Inter racing for the Scudetto in 98 and the calls week after week that are unexplainable to this day: the hand ball..the ball apparently NOT going in the net.
See being on trial for fraud in terms of doping policies by your general manager and doctor for your clubs most successful years.
As a Milan fan I avoid politics for a reason. As a Juve fan BE SMART AND WAKE UP as well and avoid subjects that can BURN YOU..like cheating ....
