Of Milan VS Manchester

Once more, the titans of football clashed again in the 2nd leg of the Champions League Semi-finals.. the 1st leg was a pulsating match which ended 3-2 in Man Utd's favour.

The final scored at the end read AC Milan 3-0 Manchester United, and the Italians go through on a 5-3 aggregate.. so what went wrong?

On a night where the best of English and Italian football was to be showcased, the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Darren Fletcher and Michael Carrick all failed to deliver the goods..

Ronaldo, fresh off the awards stage and full of promise looked more like a schoolboy playing with kids, he ran and ran at the milan defenders, but each time, he tumbled easily and could hardly get a proper pass through.. not to mention the freekicks at he slammed into the milan floor each time he had a chance..

Fletcher and Carrick, England hopefuls, look lost when they had possession and after an effective Milan covered the angles and keep it tight.. they were lost sheep in the lush greenery of Milan..

An cripple midfield, a wet wet first half and an excellent performance by Milan.. and so deservingly, the scoreline reads 3-0
