Hello Javi,
First, congratulations on the page. It's easy to hook from one item to another in a near infinite loop. Too bad it's protected and won't let me open multiple tabs at the same time.
But the real reason for my message is to warn you about one thing, especially because it happens to me too (sometimes): we let ourselves be carried away by memory and this is treacherous… much. I, lately, floor, even when I'm fully sure, check the data.
The one that slipped you is the following: the glorious AC Milan of the Dutch, Donadoni, Baresi, Maldini, Ancelotti and, as, Sacchi, he did not leave anything sentenced in the first leg, the famous (and misleading, everything has to be said) 5-0, it was around, in Madrid they stayed 1-1.
Sorry you have to rephrase the end of the article. In any case, this is not an obstacle for the rest of the article to be correct: That Madrid was a great team that had bad luck in the European Cup.
The previous year it was PSV who unfairly eliminated them and that year it was Milan that was another great team, maybe better, but we must not forget how disputed Sacchi was at that time (in Italy Inter won the German trio, with Napoli second) and how did you get to that semifinal, with previous or unfair qualifiers (against Red Star and that rare and famous tiebreaker match: passed on penalties without deserving it, the yugoslavs were better) or adjusted (against German Werder, who also had another team).
And against Madrid, in the first leg he was slightly better at stake (that shrinking of spaces and the offside stunned the Merengue), although he had to draw near the end (about 80 ') with a goal from Van Basten. And on the return (I recommend that you see it with the comments of De la Casa -TVE1- because they analyze the start of the game very well), the key was Paco Paquito Package Buyo, with an unforgivable swallow that cost a tie. I was dominating Madrid, Milan was very cautious, but as a result of the goal, Madrid had a pájara and in just 5 minutes from swallow, I already had a 2-0, with the average against the first leg. And even above, almost on break, the 3rd falls: an insurmountable slab.
In my opinion, the result was misleading both by the game (Milan did not sweep, it was better at the Bernabeu) as for the result. The 5-0, despite the justified legend of that Milan, did not show the distance between 2 teams. That Milan was a bit superior? Possibly (the tactic tipped the scales). At that level of distance? No joke.
And for sample, a button: the following season they cross again in the second round, Milan win again, but the global was a 2-1, and on the return, Madrid was able to trace the 2-0 O, at least, match it (luck and morals -they had food-, in football, they also count). In Italy, again Milan does not win, this time Maradona's Napoli does it.
So, that Milan was good, but it was a time of glorious teams; el Milan de Sacchi-Capello (89-94; with Capello they achieve an incredible unbeaten record: more than a year without losing) coincides in time with period squads such as Barça de Cruijff and the great Marseille of the Papin, Waddle and Co.. And beware that I do not take an iota of merit: is one of the best teams in history, but he didn't walk either, that sometimes legends blind our eyes.
