Milan in top form in 2003?
we were the faves for the final.we had been in much better form.
milan had a crappy season in the league where they came 3rd.
we were the faves for the 2003 final against milan,but the old final phobia came to haunt us again.
though nedved being suspended can be called bad luck.
Get your facts straight...
Milan were the Winter champions and started to slip in Feb./March. They came up with some ties and injuries (Nesta, Pirlo) and the title began slipping...they even beat Juve in the second match.
Crappy season?? They came in second and in the last 4 games played the second team which explains the gap in points from 1st to 2nd.
More over, everyone including the kitchen sink stated that Milan played a better final than Juve even when they played in 10 men for 15 minutes (Roque Junior limped off the field with 10 minutes left) Juve could not get a shot on net.
Dare to mention the group of death they TWICE came out on top of.
Man I can't take this Johnny Come Lately fans anymore who don't know Juve life before Imbrahmovic
