Milan are still in with a shout imo.
Gila did nothing all game. Waste of a player.
The game was very open, both teams had spells of domination, and despite what some might say, Milan had just as many 'domination spells' as United did.
Dida, did his usual of brillient one minute, rubbish the next.
Bonera, as usual, did excellent when he come on. A very under-rated player.
Kaka started doing well after his first goal.
But its not as easy as people make out to 'shackle' Kaka. If it was, then he wouldnt have done what he did tonight.
We looked very composed on the ball, very relaxed. A sign of experiance and class imo. While we dont attack with the same pace as United, no-one can deny that the fluency of Milans passing, and the calmness of the players under pressure is impressive.
Im quite pleased with the result tbh. 3-2 is a good result in my eyes.

FrankJH said:I personally think Ronaldo was a little selfish at times and took the ball on too far and lost promising positions, but it would have been a crime not to award the first goal to him (wasnt it initially marked as a Dida own goal?)
Nickg said:i think thats the benefit of having 2 young guns like rooney and ronaldo.
when one doesnt do so well the other can still excel - therefore taking the pressure off the underperfomer.
if we had only ronaldo, or only rooney the spotlight would be too intense on the individual in question and every move/mistake scrutinized by the press. this way they can share the burden.
and for a potato head, rooney certainly hit a couple of king edwards into the back of the sack last night.

DQN said:So now players are being judged by their looks? Can you please remind me when that mattered in football? To come back from a 2-1 half time deficit against AC Milan? Get a reality check fella, United are playing on the pure adrenaline of the fact they could accomplish the treble once again. We will be heading to the San Siro with the same mindset that we do for every other game and that's to win, yes Milan will be happy with the score line but they're going to be pressing for goals in the return leg and I'm sure you of all people are aware how deadly Manchester United are on the counter attack. AC could be taking a corner and 15 seconds later the ball is in their net at the other side of the pitch, how can you deflate the characters of such fantastic athletes. Especially Giggs, over 700 games and he's still playing at the top of his game. Wayne hasn't had the best of seasons but he’s scoring when it matters, last time I checked football is a team game and as long as the 3 points can be accounted for or the progression into the next stage of whatever tournament they're participating in it doesn't matter if Wayne Rooney scores or someone the likes of John O'Shea does. You have nothing to say about Ronaldo either, he's pure class and there's not a player in the Champions League or the domestic english league that can do the things he does. He's a match winner and produces top quality performances, you sir are an idiot and your comment possesses no validity whatsoever.
