AC Milan Match Reviews
Antonio Cassano: How Milan have missed him
“The real regret for this year, as I said it to [Silvio] Berlusconi on the phone, is about Gattuso and Cassano….with the two of them we would have gained some more points,” were the words of Adriano Galliani on Monday, 24 hours after Milan’s four-goal rout of Siena. While it is not so easy [...]
Lacklustre Milan crawl to the top of Serie A
Had not the only goal of the game been so spectacular one, even a Milan fan, could have been forgiven for struggling to watch the entire match between Chievo and Milan; it was that bad. There was no fire, no flair, no enthusiasm, least not from the visitors. You would not think that they are [...]
Barcelona 3-1 Milan: The Catalans progress via the penalty spot
It was in the fourtieth minute of the game. It was one a piece to both sides, a score-line that would have put Milan through and Barcelona out. The Catalans had no doubt been the better side, but, they had not converted their possession into goals. Just like last week. Milan were on a high [...]
Milan progress, just.
It was close. Milan went into the second leg against Arsenal with a commanding four-goal advantage following their emphatic display at the San Siro three weeks ago. Most would have thought that such a lead would have been enough to almost but guarantee their passage to the quarter finals. But, those who thought so were [...]
Race for Serie A still on despite Juventus draw
It all started according to plan. Milan took the initiative from the beginning against Juventus, dominating possession and going ahead thanks to another strike from our free scoring midfielder, Antonio Nocerino. Ten minutes later it should have been two. But, it was not. Roberto Romagnoli, the assistant referee, somehow failed to see how Sulley Muntari’s [...]
Derby loss highlights key problem
I had the same feeling as those thousands of Milan fans at the San Siro on Sunday night who left their seats early. A feeling of resignation, hopelessness and defeat even before the final whistle was sounded. It was by no means the worst Milan performance ever, but, it was far from the best. We [...]
Comment: AC Milan 2-0 Siena
The last time Milan entertained Siena before the Tuscans’ visit to the Giuseppe Meazza on Saturday night was on January 17, 2010. That was the game that Ronaldinho, for me, showed his best in the red and black. A superb hat-trick, one from the spot, one off his head and an absolute wonder-strike in the [...]
Milan end Champions League group stage in disappointing fashion
Milan started off their Champions League campaign in truly inspirational form after stealing a point away to Barcelona on the opening match day. Their next two games ended according to expectation, with routine victories over BATE Borisov and Viktoria Plzen. However, following their 2-0 win over BATE Borisov on matchday three, the Rossoneri failed [...]
Comment: Genoa 0-2 Milan
After the Fiorentina game a couple of weeks ago I suggested that Milan could be top of the table by Christmas because of their fairly easy run of matches before the New Year. As things stand, at least until tomorrow morning, Milan are top of the heap having beaten both Chievo and Genoa since. Last [...]
Comment: AC Milan 4-0 Chievo Verona
Heading into Sunday night’s match Milan had won nine matches in a row against the Flying Donkeys of Verona. With such a record and given the Champions’ resurgence after a slow start to the season Milan were clear favourites to win this one. And, Max Allegri’s side duly lived up expectation as they trounced a [...]
