I don't think it's so much a mystery as much as it is a regular truism: Milan is often the best team in Europe whereas Juve are often the best team in Italy.
Maybe that's because Milan (rightfully) has a history of better focus on the CL and just enough to get by in Serie A, with the bonus of winning the Scudetto when they can go for the double.
Certainly 10 games at the level Milan has had will take something out of you. But all teams get tired, have form swings, etc. Look at Juve at the start of the season versus Milan. Look at the two when paired before the end of the year, despite the 0-0 scoreline?
Though I do think it's a little dismissive to write-off Juve coming into Milan, playing one of the best games they've played all season, and coming away with a victory at the San Siro for the first time in some 8 years. Milan has been in this situation this late in the season many times before and not faultered, so you have to give some credit to Juve this time.
At the delle Alpi, an in form Milan thrashed a competely out-of-form Juve for a 0-0 score. So I'm not so sure I'd be too liberal with the "killed" label just yet.
While I would give some class credits to Galliani and Ancelotti for that, I would only give them partial credit. Full credit would only come if they had stated that Juve played a clearly superior match than they did, which they did. It's one thing to take the blame yourself for a loss. It's another to acknowledge the, at least for that moment, superiority of your competition if they have played a truly good game. And Juve played a truly good game.
You have to admit that the Canna video tapes, considering their age and irrelevance, had uncanny timing for an organization owned by the same ownership of most of Italy's media. I sometimes fault Italians for being a little to quick to suggest conspiracy theories, but something smelled like a 5-day old tonno there.
I have to say, you've completely piqued my interest as well as many others on this...

Nick decided to ignore the Curva Leadership and their admonitions against improper conduct, and he started filling up the piss balloons right there in the Second Tier. Just as he was pissing into the balloon his red & black Milan scarf slipped off his shoulders. A bunch of Milan ultras thought they saw Inter's Christian Vieri pissing on a Milan scarf and chased his ass all the way to Lake Como.
