Well, Carroll sure is a good keeper. Sir Alex is just an idiot starting him in front of Tim Howard, and NOW we should see Timmy getting another chance.
Wonderful match by Milan, everything went according to plan. Pirlo and co controlled the middle of the park, basically shutting down Manure with the amount of possession the Rossoneri had. Milan had to slow down the match enough to their liking, the wonderful Italian pace of play, and once they obtained control of the match Manure could not break through the Milan defense. Sir Alex wanted his team to play quick and strike on the counter attacks, but Milan is just too skilled for that sort of play.
Seedorf shot the ball right at Carroll and he fumbled it into the path of Crespo, giving Milan the only goal of the match. Milan basically had the better run of play, while Manure did miss some good chances.
Pirlo was the best player on the pitch today, and he surely is Milan's most important player. His passing range is supurb, his touch is immaculate, his positioning is sound, and he never runs out of ideas with the ball. What a player..
Nesta was right up there with Pirlo for the post match awards, as the #13 showed everyone that he is indeed the best defender in the world. Rooney and Giggs could not do anything out there because of Nesta.
Right now my bet is that Milan will win the Champions League. They have brilliant players in defense to shut down almost anyone, and their creativity gives them the power to control the match and bring it to the opposition. No team matches up with them at the moment. Nobody.
