MILAN - Four Champions League semi-finals in the last five years. First up it was Inter, then PSV Eindhoven, then Barcelona and last but not least the date with Manchester United is fast approaching. The only regret over this period is not having met Porto in the 2004 semi-finals. However, if indeed there was a mistake made in that match it would be Milan's only one over a five year period and that is not something to be passed over in a top level competition like the Champions League.
Year after year, Milan have held their own in Europe to confirm that they are the top Italian side. No one in Italy and not even in Europe, has done what the Rossoneri have done over the last 20 years in the Champions Cup and Champions League. The Rossoneri boast an impressive four victories in the final (two with Sacchi and one apiece with Capello and Ancelotti), seven finals and nine semi-finals. And we couldn't agree more with what Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport-Stadio said when they wrote 'Seven finals in Europe in the last 20 years is amazing. It gives the sense of an absolute and stately power. Europe is another world and Milan command that world.' The European rankings just go to confirm what we have always said, Milan are second to none: Team Team Points MILAN 107 Barcelona 103 Real Madrid 96 Inter 90 Juventus 85 Liverpool 85 Arsenal 81 Manchester United 80 Valencia 71 Olympique Lyon 73 (Milan have collected the following point totals over these five seasons: 19 in 2001-2002 after the UEFA Cup semi-final against Borussia Dortmund, 26 in 2002-2003 with the Champions League victory over Manchester United, 14 in 2003-2004 with a place in the quarter-finals, 27 in 2004-2005 after the final in Istanbul against Liverpool, 21 in 2005-2006 after the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona). |

And with this year's run and Barca, Real and Inter going out so early we'll move farther away from them.
But the 02/03 points will get slashed off so it might even out, unless we win the CL again this season which is highly unlikely |

Chelsea have been very lucky, they score relly late goals at times, and then they are very determined, like against Valencia. ~But they can play like sh!t at times and still win. And Liverpool just bring back old scars. |

If it's Liverpool just think about amount of motivation our players will have for the sweet revenge. Chelsea will be tougher but nothing that we can't handle |

Chelsea will be tougher but nothing that we can't handle I'm even more afraid of Chelsea, just the idea of Sheva scoring on us (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) It would really be painful, even if we are winning by something like 4 goals (wishful think here) and it's the last kick of the game and he scores the goal it would still hurt |

I agree, dst!
I dont think Sheva can score against us. I think he still is a milanista with his heart. |

I don't think he'd throw away a chance if he had it. The thing is, does he have the guts to face Milan in a Champions League final?... If he scored I would expect him not to celebrate the occasion... he would really disappoint me if he did. This post has been edited by dst: Apr 17 2007, 12:00 AM |
