AC Milan 3, Olympiakos 1 (agg. 3-1)
Izaghi’s tap-in off an Andrei Shevchenko shot that bit the woodwork provided AC Milan with the late winner ; of Serie A’s 3 remaining clubs in this competition, at least one has punched their ticket to the final four.
(UPDATE : Inter are O-U-T, 1-0 losers away to Villareal).
I’ve watched the replay of Izaghi’s goal about a half-dozen times and I still can’t fathom how Shevchenko was left in the box, unmarked. This wasn’t the craziest hail-mary pass completion of all-time, but I’m sending Shevchenko and his lovely wife my very last box of Flutie Flakes by way of congratulations just the same.
milan comes up lucky again, 2nd year in a row this happened, last year vs. psv, even though derek rae or whatever talking head that was for espn constantly referred to them as ‘ajax’
congrats to villareal, the george mason of european football
