For what it's worth, here are Gazzetta's ratings for the game:
Dida - 5 Oddo - 6.5 Nesta - 7 Kaladze - 7 Jankulovski - 7 Gattuso - 6 Emerson - 6 Pirlo - 8 Ambrosini - 6.5 Kaka - 6 Seedorf - 6 Inzaghi - 7.5 Ancelotti - 7.5

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.

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) Tu Sei Tutta La Mia Vita !!!

And u expect me to rate him (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

(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.

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)
