AC Milan through to Champion's League final

May 3rd 2007 05:14
UEFA Champions League


UEFA Champion's League: Semi-final 1 - 2nd Leg

RESULT:

AC Milan 3 - 0 Manchester United (Agg: 5 - 3)

SUMMARY:

Kaka
BBC Sport


AC Milan are through to the final of the UEFA Champion's League for 2007 with a crushing win over Manchester United at the San Siro.

The Red Devils were distinctly off-colour for such an important game and Milan's Brazilian maestro Kaka duly punished them with a goal inside the first 11 minutes to add to the brace he scored in the 1st leg.

Confusion in the United defence between Gabriel Heinze and Nemanja Vidic gave Milan their second goal of the evening with Clarence Seedorf the scorer.



It took until the hour for United to really get going but they still did not manage to break down the Milan defence and shortly after, it was all over - game, set and match Milan when substitute Alberto Gilardino was released down the middle and he ran 40 yards before coolly curling the ball home.

While a Liverpool - Manchester United would have been absolutely mouth-watering, we will now witness a rematch of the epic 2005 final between Liverpool and Milan which the mighty Reds came out on top after coming back from 3 - 0 down to win on penalties.

The Champion's League final 2007 will be in Athens on May 23rd.

UEFA Champions League


UEFA Champion's League: Semi-final - 1st Leg

RESULT:

Manchester United 3 - 2 AC Milan

SUMMARY:

Wayne Rooney


Wayne Rooney's double which included a sensational injury-time winner handed the Red Devils the advantage as Milan slipped to a 3-2 defeat although an equally brilliant brace from the talented Brazilian Kaka ensured that Milan are still in with a chance.

The second-leg of semi-final one will take place on Wednesday May 2nd at the San Siro.

Champion's League semi-final one preview: Manchester United vs. AC Milan

April 24th 2007 05:33
UEFA Champions League


UEFA Champion's League: Semi-final - 1st Leg

PREVIEW:

Barclaycard Premiership leaders Manchester United meet Italian giants AC Milan in the first leg of the Champion's League at Old Trafford on Wednesday (AEST 04:30).

The Red Devils enter the match on the back of a bouyant 7 - 1 romp over Roma a fortnight ago, but their injury-ravaged squad could prove to be a huge obstacle to overcome with none of their first choice defenders fit.

Sth Korean Park Ji-sung and striker Louis Saha are also ruled out which leaves only a 13-man senior squad for Sir Alex Ferguson to choose from.

In contrast, AC Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti has a virtually fully-fit squad available, with striker Alberto Gilardino returning after suspension which means the Rossoneri must start as favourites.

It will be an interesting battle between the youth in attack of United and the wealth of experience of Milan's defence.

My prediction: 1 - 1

Ronaldo and Kaka on Real shopping list

March 28th 2007 04:56
real madrid fc


Real Madrid club president Ramon Calderon said on Tuesday that the club will try to sign Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo and AC Milan's Brazilian midfielder Kaka for next season.

'I would love to see both Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo play for Real Madrid next season, but it won't be easy. Any big club would have this sort of objective and Real Madrid is a big club.'

However, Ronaldo is currently under contract talks to extend his stay with the Red Devils and a move appears unlikely, not to mention the rumoured 80 million euros "buy-out" clause attached to his existing contract.

A move for Brazilian midfielder Kaka seems more likely, but Calderon's hot pursuit of the talented player since last year's presidential election campaign has yet to bear fruit.

Real Madrid and Arsenal tumbles out of Champion's League

March 8th 2007 04:15
UEFA Champions League


RESULTS:

AC Milan 1 - 0 Celtic (Agg: 1 - 0)
Arsenal 1 - 1 PSV Eindhoven (Agg: 1 - 2)
Bayern Munich 2 - 1 Real Madrid (Agg: 4 - 4 Bayern through on away goals)
Man Utd 1 - 0 Lille (Agg: 2 - 0)

SUMMARY:



Bayern Munich's Roy Makaay scored the fastest ever goal in Champion's League history and helped his side claim victory against Real Madrid in the Allianz Arena over-night.

Roy Makaay put Bayern ahead with just 10 seconds on the clock bettering the previous mark of 20 seconds set by Arsenal's Gilberto Silva against PSV Eindhoven in 2002.

A depleted Real team missing defensive lynchpin Fabio Cannavaro and former England captain David Beckham could not find an answer to Bayern's early goal.

When Ferreira Lucio scored in the 66th minute, Real knew they had to score twice to avoid defeat but all they managed was a 83rd minute consolation penalty which Ruud Van Nistelrooy converted.

Bayern Munich are now through to the quarter finals of the competition by virtue of the away goal's rule.

Last season's runner-up Arsenal were bundled out of this year's competition by Dutch side PSV Eindhoven after a 1-1 draw at the Emirates Stadium.

Brazilian defender Alex went from villain-to-hero when he rose above the Arsenal defence to bullet a header into the back of the net with his 'second' goal. His first goal was an own goal that put the Gunners ahead.

However, with the Dutch side carrying a 1-0 lead into the game, the draw was enough to send them through to the next phase while Arsenal boss laments another trophy-less season for his side.



Manchester United's Henrik Larsson signed off in style after scoring the only goal of the game against Lille.

Larsson, whose 10-week loan spell with the Premiership leaders ends on Wednesday week, scored a 71st-minute header to settle a nervy contest that ultimately ensured United advanced to the quarter-finals for the first time in four years.

And Scottish giants Celtic pushed AC Milan all the way during 180 minutes of football and it only took a moment of genius from Milan's Brazilian midfielder Kaka to settle the tie with a goal in extra-time.
