ahem :KingPaulV;2946864 said:you completely negated everything that happened in the match and brought up intangibles as if they were tangibles, things that we couldnt control and turned them into actual factors.

you've misunderstood me ... I follow Milan coz of Zlatan; that's about it ...KingPaulV;2946864 said:In short, you are trying to make it seem as if you lot lost and not that we won; do yourself a favor and try to be a little more objectibve if you really want to come here as a neutral...
It wasnt a perfect game on our part, but it was controlled and handled at the will and pace our midfield dictated, ,... They two quick goals only made it to where there was no pressure, and no real need to force a result.
They missed an oportunity IMO to return the 5-0 scoreline at the San Siro in 1989, and that is the only pity for me.
and, in a similar fashion, I am really fond of Mourinho; couple that with the fact that Guardiola disgusts me, and it shouldn't surprise you to find out that I want to see Mourinho succeed big time with you guys ...
in my analysis, I was merely lending my insight into the opposition I have seen regularly, and making an informed judgment of Real Madrid's performance relative to Milan's ability ...
my opinion of Milan is not very flattering at the moment ... their defence is unimpressive even with Thiago Silva in there ... with him out, and with Bonera starting at CB for the first time ever (including pre-season friendlies) under Allegri, I expected you guys to seriously punish them and put players like Bonera in their place ... the Milan defensive line (+ Ringhio) were run a little ragged, especially on the counter when Cristiano ran at them at pace ... but they weren't embarrassed as maybe they should have been ...
as for Milan's creativity testing your backline: their midfield stagnates when Seedorf, Ronaldinho, and Pirlo's lack of pace descends from methodical to lethargic, as was the case yesterday ... so your defence was hardly under any real threat, and you were able to win the ball back from those uninspired "stars" with ease ...
basically, Real Madrid were playing a Milan team that has some potential in certain areas, but is woefully lacking in others -- i.e. Milan are faaaar from being a Champions League contender ... yes you dominated them, but the fact remains that both goals were fortunate, and the other chances should have been put away ... against a weak, non-contender Milan, it didn't matter; but to truly play like deserving champions, I'd want to see more than that from Mourinho's men ... if nothing else, that would be my point ...
