I couldn’t agree more with Ancelotti, it was destiny that has triumphed Milan’s journey this season. For all the troubles they had early in the season, the joy on the team are such an emotional scene to be witnessed and enjoyed. It was apparent that the the win finally put an end to the misery that this club has suffered since that fateful night in Istanbul a couple of years ago. It was fittingly that in city of Athens, where the myths and glory of god and goddesss are worshipped, the exact revenge or rather not repeating the same mistake, Milan was able to redeem themselves and basked in the magical night of glory.
7th European title, 5th for Paolo Maldini, the 2nd in 4 years, you just have to respect this team. It’s arguably the greatest side in the last 20 years considered the number of trophy they won, the style of football they always play, and the great team that have been assembled since the day of van Basten, Gullit, Rijkaard, to the likes of Kaka, Pirlo, and Inzaghi.
For Liverpool, they’re winner by showing how much respect and gracious they’re in defeat. Carragher and Benitez paid tribute to Maldini and the quality of Milan respectively, and it is this type of sportsmanship that football needs, this type of respect that football wants to promote, not continuously provoking conspiracy as what the Special One keep promoting. After all, sports is meant to unite people, in the right way.
