[Guest Prongsy]

This is great news, now im off to the vatican to 'have words' with cardinal ratzinger.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

It would be horrible to see the yellow strip in the final.

 

Did AC Milan beat Barcelona 4-0 in Athens back in the mid-90's when Massaro and Savicevic scored - probably 94 ?

Great news!

Yes Athens in 94. A stunning display from Milan, who were playing without their first choice CB pairing (Baresi and Costacurta) and with Van Basten out injured (for good as it turned out).

Yep, that was 1994. Milan played in white. Massaro (2), Savicevic and Desailly the scorers.

What a side they were, did Maldini play?

[Anfield Fox]

Made my morning that. Terrific

[Flight]

What a side they were, did Maldini play?

 

 

Maldini has played in every cup winning AC Milan side since 1932.

 

Fact.

[fred milne]

What a side they were, did Maldini play?

Yes - he played CB. Romario and Stoichkov never got a sniff.

[Magic8Ball]

Rafael Benitez's side had been named as the away team for the match in Athens but Milan have chosen to wear their all white strip.

 

That means the teams will be wearing the same colours as when they met in the 2005 final in Istanbul, when Liverpool came back from 3-0 down at half-time to win on penalties.

Milan made this choice the last time didn't they?

Obviously the believe white is their lucky colour, either that or they want to create a re dramatisation of the previous final

If the latter I think there is something to be said of their mental state

[Gilps]

Maldini has played in every cup winning AC Milan side since 1932.

 

Fact.

 

Got 4 winners medals. Has anyone except him and Phil Neal got that many?

[12twelve]

Got 4 winners medals. Has anyone except him and Phil Neal got that many?

 

surely someone from the Real Madrid team that won it five times on the trot has topped that?

Maybe some of the Real players from the late 50's/early 60's? I don't know.
