"La Ruga is Beautiful" was the headline the Spanish daily "As" today - "Wrinkles are beautiful." Well, the Spaniards must not watch the league matches of the Milanese, but evaluate only the "big nights" of this team. And much bigger than last night, an encounter in the Champions League not to be - two teams that were together 16 times lift the Cup. And last night in Madrid beats the experience of the Rossoneri, the arrogance of Madrid which this summer across Europe have made wuschig with their shopping spree. A shopping trip, including the transplanted Kaka from Milan to Madrid.
And for Milan, who have certainly laid no start to the season that can dream and had the rest of plugging in the last Champions League match a home defeat against FC Zurich, the game begins in the worst of all possible modes: Dida, fourth goalie for 4.5 million € net per year, the hero of incredible bucks, "Didastro" even, once again surpasses himself and gives Real's opener. A securely held by central and Granero weak shot ball, he can bounce on his knee, he hobbles from there to the lurking Raul, thanks and einschiebt. The absurdly weak referee also overlooks a 120% penalty when Zambrotta umsenst the enteilten Benzema from behind. Otherwise, "il solito Milan", returns in the first half, no less than 0 shots on goal.
In the second half, it will be a game. Above all, as the fit-again Boriello completely replaces suspended in the air Inzaghi. As so often in its history (last 2007), the Rossoneri rummage in their experience and make it grow beyond themselves. Has certainly played a role in Real Madrid, where one sees clearly that they are simply without Cristiano Ronaldo is a lack of unpredictability and playfulness. A team with a fantastic single-rounders, but without recognizable playing system, without the willingness to run, trying to Kaka in, with individual actions create risk, but entirely on its own remains. Benzema shows some nice action, but not really radiates from goal threat, especially because he never made it into the penalty area and creating more and more attention, published by shooting outside the box. The completely overwhelmed Granera on the left demonstrates all the weaknesses of a team that is set entirely on front-wheel drive and lack of any idea. Xabi Alonso should take over the director's part that took place in the strange slow and uninspired real but almost never for a neat face-partner dialogue.
Practically demonstrated the weaknesses of Real Madrid, which I am critical of AC Milan have all season and made it so inculcate a clinically dead opponents confidence. And then Milan's old guard reminded of past Champions League celebrations and struggled in the second half to play. And it was Andrea Pirlo reserves the right to sound the wake-up call: his brilliant shot from 35 meters near the left post in the proposed Torwarteck a - a masterpiece! A wake-up call that was obviously so deafening that Real was still taken aback a few minutes later, as Ambrosini with a long pass across goal Pato sent by Casillas. The apparently wants to begrudge his opposite Dida the show and stormed out of his box totally confused, located 5 meters outside the penalty area reminds them that he can not fight off the ball with his hands and can give Pato a 2-1 opening goal.
Substitute Drenthe (why actually sat on the bench) also shoot from a distance, the 2-2 equalizer, during the final phase before everything goes haywire. First, similar to the weak referee's error in the first half (which is not given penalty), and recognizes Thiago Silva headed goal from a completely regular. Of these, however, completely unimpressed, Seedorf served in the 89th Minutes Pato the ball to 2:3 Final on foot. Brace for the 20-year-old striker at the Santiago Bernabeu - impressive.
Well, declared dead live longer and it also creates problems for all of this Milan to rise on certain nights and over to get infected by the magic of the big games. Big games in which character, courage and experience, but are more frightening than even the name on the paper. Just what is missing from city rivals Inter for years and years, I could still live Tuesday night at the San Siro experience. Thanks guys, for this unforgettable evening.
And so it was really
