I'd probably agree with those ratings.

“We are satisfied with the victory. Now we are the most successful club in the world with more silverware than any other, overtaking Boca Juniors,” said the patron.

Does anyone know what trophies this includes and what the total is compared to boca and juve are?

Here's a translation I've done of one of the articles in today's Gazzetta. It's a rough translation and not really edited much for style, but I think it conveys the original reasonably well. (For those who have access to the print editions, the article is on page 2).

When Having a Party Becomes Difficult

At the top of Europe and the world, the night wasn't one for a party. Milan won ints 17th trophy: only the Argentines of Boca Juniors have won as many. At Tokyo in December at the World Club Cup, it will be decided who is the better. It was Inzaghi, Jankulovski and Kaka who continued a history begun in 1963 at Wembley when the names were Jose Altafini, Gianni Rivera and Cesare Maldini. The eras interlace and overlap, like the emotions this night in Monte Carlo, where football is played, but where the thoughts were always of Antionio Puerta, who destiny took away last Tuesday. The night began with the players in tears, arm in arm, at the center of the pitch before referee Plautz whistled the start of the game.

FAIR PLAY (original in english)
The players run and fight, cards are also earned (Gattuso's was the first), but it's a climate of fair play that respects that which is felt inside. The minute of silence is a minute of real silence: no cheers, no applause. Only when it's over is there a cheer from the Seville supporters: 'We want you, Antonio'. And the pain which never quite leaves a person needs to be released if one doesn't want to suffocate. The Seville supporters area is festooned with banners: 'Puerta presente' is the largest of them. All the players have Puerta's name on their jerseys under their numbers. This was decided by the Seville players as well as the Milan players: together, united, in accord on homage to a boy who was already a champion and who everyone wanted to imagine already running down the left flank.

FRIENDSHIP
During the halftime break with Seville leading 1-0, three ultras from the Milan curva emerged with a banner. They spoke with the UEFA delegate for permission and then approached the Seville stands where they unrolled the banner with their own words of sympathy: 'Onore a Puerta' (honor to Puerta). Standing ovation from the entire stadium, with even UEFA president Michel Platini approving and watching the scene with hope: for once there are no incidents, no provocations. The Seville fans chanted 'Milan, Milan' along with Puerta's name. The grand scene in the Louis II Stadium included a girl in tears, consoled by her fiance: the football game could distract for 90 minutes, but life is another thing and it's good to never forget that.

EMOTIONS
After are the goals of the Milanisti, the celebrations, and the victory. All is governed by a sobriety: no excesses, no hysteria. And when Ancelotti recalled him to the bench, Clarence Seedorf took off his jersey and pointed to the name of Puerta on the back. This was his cup, the Supercup of Antonio. That it's the 17th trophy in Milan's trophy case, in the face of such emotion, becomes a secondary fact.

I did see Gourcuff, he had the same training clothes that Ronaldo had. Maybe he got a minor injury before the game. But I did see him on the field after the game was finnished.

Overall, Milan invited Sevilla to attack from the very first minute, but Milan never lost it's grip !! As the game went on, Milan's class prevailed again (As expected (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif) ) and took grasp of the game to end it cooly 3-1.

Forza Milan !! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

I don't think 'lauging' is quite the word. While Palop was saving penalties, Dida was.. making himself look like an idiot.

He managed to mess up twice on the goal. Firstly he can't judge a ball so he came out for it and got nowhere near, secondly, he went down to early and let the ball bounce in. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

You're just so blind to everything it's unreal. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Real Madrid are clearly the most decorated team, but because you don't like them I suppose their titles mean nothing.

Do u know me ?! Who said I don't like RM?!

RM are the most decorated in Spain and in Europe (EDIT: my bad, I meant to say international stage earlier .. But the euphoria is still in me (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) .. But on an international level, AC Milan have more trophies than anyone in the game, 20 Trophies and counting !

Whatever ... Forza Milan (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

p.s. I'm not blind, I know what my team are capable of, and they just demonstrated it yesterday (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif)

His cv might be better but you are talking about the past:rolleyes: Dida was probably the best keeper in the world back in 2003/4 but is far too shaky nowadays. Yes he is still a great shot stopper but his judgement is awful for crosses etc. Last night seville's goal was his fault - a great keeper doesn't get beat like that! We are just lucky that we have such a strong team(plus Carlo has changed tactics for Europe which we needed (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) and that Seville were'nt really in it.

To say that Dida is currently better that either Cech or Buffon is ridiculous.
