Champions League: Milan crashes Arsenal (4-0), qualification practically achieved

TRIUMPH MILAN! THE ROSSONERI DEVASTATE ARSENAL: 4-0 AT SAN SIRO. ALLEGRI RAGGIANTE: “GREAT MILAN, BUT IT'S NOT OVER YET…”.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Milan of Europe is back! The Rossoneri have not enjoyed a night like this for years, which erases all the bitterness and fears of recent seasons in one fell swoop. We had presented the one against Arsenal as a balanced match, in which anything could have happened. Well, we screwed up sensationally! Yeah, why the Rossoneri literally ate the Gunners, too ugly to be true. Gritty, lucid and determined, Allegri's boys entered the field with the eyes of the tiger, but perhaps not even they would have imagined such grace.

Great credit goes to the Rossoneri coach, capable of presenting a perfect formation, stronger even than bad luck, which after a few minutes forced Seedorf out due to an injury. On the other hand, however, Wenger has shown all the limits that have accompanied him in his (long) career: the defensive phase of his Arsenal has once again proved to be embarrassing (not to say worse). And if that offensive doesn't work either, well, it's the middle of the night for the Gunners. After a difficult month, Milan thus unleashed a super-performance and it cannot be a coincidence that this coincided with Boateng's return to the field. The Ghanaian, a doubt until the eve, showed his teeth and technique, with another author's goal in the big-eared cup.

The whip of the "Boa" broke the match in two, which then saw Robinho take the chair. The Brazilian decided to silence the critics on the most important night, with a brace and an irresistible performance. In the final there was also glory for Ibrahimovic, until then the protagonist "only" for assists. In short, a super Milan, who put qualification for the quarter-finals in the bank, even if Allegri doesn't think so: "Qualification hasn't been decided yet, we have a good advantage but we'll need a goal in the second leg to close it". Superstition in its purest state, the daughter of an environment that has never forgotten the comebacks suffered in La Coruna and Istanbul. It is therefore right to keep the tension high, but Milan have shown that they are much superior to their opponents. So qualification almost achieved and curse dispelled. In fact, the Rossoneri are back to beating an English team, after the beatings of recent years. It took a long time, but after last night, one would argue that it was worth the wait.
