Platini: Corrupt Milan Shouldn’t Have Been In 2007 CL

UEFA president Michel Platini has hit out at Milan’s 2007 Champions League victory, and says that the club should not have even been in the competition due to the Calciopoli scandal.

Milan were implicated in the 2006 Calciopoli crisis, and were originally deducted 15 points from their 2005/06 Serie A tally, as well as being chucked out of the Champions League.

However following a successful appeal the Rossoneri’s punishment was cut to eight points, while they were allowed to enter the Champions League at the qualifying stage.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men would then go all the way in the competition following some breathtaking displays against the likes of Bayern Munich and Manchester United, culminating in a 2-1 final win over Liverpool in Athens.

UEFA President Michel Platini has hit out at Milan’s success, and says they should never have been in the competition to begin with due to their links with corruption.

"Two years ago I was against the participation of Milan,” Platini told the Gazzetta dello Sport.

“This is all the more reason why I do not support the admission of a club like Porto, involved this year in corruption.”

Porto, like Milan in 2006, were originally banned from next season’s competition due to their links to corruption in Portugal, however they have now been reinstated following an appeal.

It's not the same chase. But anyway, such comments hurt mostly Platini and his position, noone else..

Ironically IIRC didn't he write a letter to Milan praising them on their style of football just after we won? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
