I see Nick is giving the same old "could have, should have, would have" nonsense that the defeated always like to use as an excuse. As for who was the better team, Juventus took their chances while Milan struggled to create something, only able to create some last ditch efforts. Juventus caused Milan trouble during the entire match and apart from the Trezeguet goal Del Piero hit the post once and Nedved struck just wide. We created more chances, we came closer to scoring more than once, and we put the ball in the net, all of which Milan was unable to do. Juventus was the better team, enough said.
Back in December everybody here at least was saying Milan was indeed the better side, and most were being honest. Now I hope the same is true when the tide shifts towards Juventus.
As far as the match being our best throughout the duration of the season, I think going to the San Siro to play against the side we are competing directly against to win the Scudetto, coming up on top with a 1-0 victory, says a lot about the performance by itself. However the way we played was almost perfect compared to what we have seen before and what it could have been. Capello got his tactics right, the team followed the gameplan almost perfectly, and no Juventus player had a bad game. Could the same be said about Milan? I think not. IMO, with everything at stake and what we were up against, it was our best match of the season.
