Last year Milan WERE the best team in Europe and they were humiliated by Deportivo. This is what the competition is all about, some teams give it all in one game.
Have Milan done that? Absolutely no.
Let us go back to Milan in the CL this year and see why are they called the best and supposed to win.
- The group stage: Barcelona were better and Milan was obviously the second team in the group. They both managed to go through. Were they the second best among all the teams that went through? NO!!! Chelsea, Barcelona, Juventus (yes Juventus) and Bayern Munich all looked better than the football Milan were playing.
- The Manure encounter: Looking at the clash in a shallow point of view one can just smell war. The clash of giants, but when one looks closer, the weaknesses of manure start to become more and more clear and the superiority that Milan showed on the pitch. Were they more superior? Yes, but barely.
- The Euro derby: Milan's luck started to appear more and more at that point. I will not say Milan's luck rather it was Dida's miraculous saves and Sheva's killer instinct. But looking at what was going on the pitch, Milan were being outclassed, outplayed and owned.
- 'The best team lost' - Jose Mourinho 2005: This phrase applies for bothe semi finals. Do we need to repeat what we have been saying about the encounter? All Milan fans and all football critics said and understood that Milan robbed the encounter. I do not believe in this opportunistic play because this is not football, this is gambling. The same way Liverpool gambled against Juventus and against Chelsea. What makes Milan's gamble look better is only the players they have that are all beyond par: Kaka, Seedorf, Pirlo and others are just big names that make it look more shiny while they are underperforming. Ambrosini scoring the saviour? Who ever thought of that? No one, not even him, not even Ancelotti was expecting it saying that because some people say that Ancelotti's substitutions are always the right person in the right place and thus making a difference. This also proves my theory about the OVER-RATED coach that got the glory just of the players he had at hand and winning a CL that was not only not deserved but he did not deserve to be in the final either.
I would like to rant more about Ancelotti, the superior coach and master tactician that has the best qualilty players and not able to take points lead in the league against a team that has half or even less the quality players + no depth + a saga of injuries.
Let us look at the tournament in other encounters:
- Barcelona vs. Chelsea: The better team lost.
- Bayern vs. Chelsea: The better team lost (2 deflected shots killed Bayern).
- Liverpool vs. Juventus: The better team lost.
- Liverpool vs. Chelsea: The better team lost.
On paper Milan is the better team among the finalists, I just hope they lose so they will see how ugly it is what they have been doing.
