Guys don’t be sad. We’re a team in transition. We lost to Barca away, big deal. We gambled like we didi in the 1st leg, it failed, we move on. We’re growing
now we know who d real milan fans are…hahahaha
If all d milan fans were like u guys, we would have no more fans after d deportivo comeback(with players like shevy, rui costa, kaka, seedorf, gattuso, nesta etc.)
Hmmmmm!!! Its like I wish I not in this family. Why? Just b’cos some of the fans just predicted lose for us with option to qualification. Poor FANS. Did u eva tink of milan eleminating barca when the draw was made? Compare a fully fit milan current team to that of barca; which milan player would even start this kind of game 4 ani top team in europe? No problem as I heard dat milan has finished wit kuka; hahahaha this is always the reward and punishment u get when u buy such players.

Let’s stay positive and support our team boys 🙂 Forza Milan
Ac Milan never die! Remember that!
Am find rare sleep sincd MAMTECANS are mocking me 2u much. I we’d lost or drawn at SAN SIRO. so sad that milan is now setting records. First with deportivo and second with barca. Hmmm!
Im not angry about the elimination… honestly I was expecting it before the match in san siro… we were not favorites… but then we play magically in milan.. they give us hope…
Then, they played with fear???? played like a bunch of ladies… scared of barca… 4×0??? WTF….
the team is to young for the UCL… they are immature.. and thats ok.. but cmon.. play like mens… we r Milan!!!
maybe next year will be different… with balotelli helping us… and some other players.. and more important.. with the team more mature
Why alway milan?
A wonderful adventure come to an end..But we will rise again!Ac Milan never die!
Bye way am nt worried 2u much coz of what happend last season when we played arsenal at the emirates stadium. It seems the players go away in most of our UCL games to tour in the stadium.
Allegri made one mistake=> He should have subbed u guyz in. I’m sure u wud have turned d game on its head.
LOL … True …. BTW guys, read this aricle on Goal.com .. Very insightful

Stupidity simply means nothing milan is not a team at the moment. Am sorry to say it. Imagine how they lost possession. Is it allegri’s responsibility to make them manage possession and control their mind knowing that they’re playing against men like them. Simple psychology milan can’t think. So because pazzini is injured, they’re can’t comport themselves and organise a goal? Niang, I have to say that we took this match for granted. So all those past weeks what where we doing. Where we training to defend? Yet we didn’t defend well or to strike, yet nothing. To simply round… Read more »
now back to the league!…Forza Milan !!!!!!!
I’m not even disappointed, i was sceptical since first game we won and we should be now focusing on Serie A to get that 2nd place. FORZA MILAN!
So, everyone realizes that having at least 4 midfielders is important when you play at CL games? I have said so many times that milan cannot play against barca with 3 midfileders. You may get lots ponts in serie A competition with 4-3-3 formation, allegri. But you don’t realize that your midfielders are too slow to play with 4-3-3 system. And do you know, Allegri, why juve are using 3-5-2 now? It’s because Conte understands that Pirlo is terrible in defending and he needs to be covered by fast players like Vidal and Marchisio in the midfield. What a shame.… Read more »
lol because your words on rossoneri blog realllly proves your strategy.
Unfortunate result and unlucky with Niang’s shot hitting the post but we have to consider this was a clean game with no controversial referrer decisions and Barcalona were better. Milan didn’t play well but we can take a positive that the team is in transition and we had a realistic chance to qualify. Hoping the team can learn from this and it doesn’t affect the league like it did last season. Stay strong rossoneri fans, don’t let the result hinder your love for Milan.
well one left d league
Seriously.. Milan scares me this days.. MILAN vs DEPO’ LA CORONA 4-0 and we went to spain and lost 4-1….. LIVERPOOL vs MILAN we where leading 3-0 and still lost….. We almost got kicked out by ARSENAL last session after our 4-0 advantage in san siro, went to england and lost 3-0…. Now BARCA.
the ucl is in milan’s dna but unfortunately its not in allegri’s dna. allegri’s rein should be viewed as a lost opportunity; all the players we had & released or asked to leave because of him. we would be world beaters…
allegri played more defensively in san siro !! i cant believe that…all he had is defend with 9 men and counter two or three times in each half…we almost blew a 4 0 lead last year and this year we blew a 2 0 lead…should we start 10 0 up to win a game Mr allegri !!!!!…u couldve played constant in midfield and de sciglio lb…or 5 defenders…have some1 man mark messi…hope that doesnt affect our league form….allegri is a good coach but not good enough for me…we barely win matches in the champions league even against averge teams (… Read more »
