So close, arsenal showed that spirit needed to come back from such a huge deficit, despite losing the aggregate, arsenal come out looking better than ever which will hopefully bring them back here next season
I think too much credit is being given to Arsenal, and not enough criticism to Milan. Don't get me wrong Arsenal showed tremendous spirit, but Milan simply didn't try or care the entire first half
They did try I know it looks like they don't but they just can't keep up with the pace and they arent used to being pressed so much. Last season, at white heart lane even though they needed goals they looked exactly the same. Its the same reason robinho couldn't hack it in the premier league. He needs time and space to be at his best, which serie a provides him
I understand where your coming from but, Milan can run. Just look back to two weeks ago against Juve, they kept pace all game. Sure they prefer to take their time on the ball, but they can still keep up pace. And don't kid yourself Arsenals back four gave them sooo much time on the ball in the second half, but they just showed no effort. They were just simply uninspired
GOOD GAME arsenal.... Milan WERE DEF TOO confident AND NEED TO never repeat A performance LIKE tonight IF THEY WANT TO GO FAR IN THIS champions league.
Hopefully milan GET prince boateng, seedorf, nesta, flamini, gattuso, PATO FOR THE quarters
I agree w Punde.... Are we still talking about Pato? How many games did he played this year? NONE that's the answer sent him back to brazil like inter did w Adriano

@ peterpan dude zip it you are a hater! Pato>>>Udinese
Whether you think their good players or not, it doesn't matter. Missing that many people from your starting XI is hard to deal with no matter how good or bad you think they are. Also consider the fact that all three of Arsenals goals were complete gifts, and how much of that comes to the fact that they only had 2 of their starting back 4 in such short notice?
Milan fans were boasting about el-sharaawey and how he is better than over-rated alex-ox before the match. I think tonight proved alex-ox currently is actually better and if I'm not mistaken, he's only 18

Man it was his first appearance in champions league and in Emirate stadium. What you thinking really. He was pretty good compare to many others. OX is talented and has playing many games for Arsenal unlike SES! I didn't see anywhere milan fans calling OX overrated!
El Shaarawy is a cracking player, but his time is not now. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is a much more of an early bloomer, mature beyond his years with a imposing physical skills married with a subtle knowledge of the game. El Shaarawy has much the same technical facets but it'll take time and an extended run in the Milan side as well as mental adjustment that comes with playing top sides. To call him trash would be ignorant - do scouts only sign ready-made players? The potential is there, how fast they mature is a different question. In my mind they'll both become world class, AOX much faster than SES due to his already gifted intelligence of the game

Nocerino missed that almost empty net! How you can miss that chance! My grandma would scored that...

And Arsenal punished us on every single mistake from! Credit to them
Arsenal would have gotten 4-5 goals if the ox wasnt playing injured and we had a better sub to bring on. (benayoun would be perfect instead of chamak too bad he injured )

Arsenal scored most of their chances. Nocerino had to score that simple tap in!
What do you guys think about the penalty? Ox was brought down, but he also pushed the ball too far away, in my opinion he would not have gotten the ball

Two of those goals were completely avoidable! Mesbah was the worst milan players his mistakes almost killed our hopes!
A. [C.] Milan tonight was garbage, best player on the pitch for milan Abate the worst all the others; especially Emanuelson, Thiago, Mesbah El sharawi and the lazy ass sicilian Nocerino
They should of been 4-0 up in the second half if van persie didn't miss the last opportunity to level it 4-4 on aggregate but great credit for arsenal because they still have a very good chance to qualify 4 the champions league next season

Yeah and if nocerino has scored that simple tap in? Forget if and what! In first leg milan should have won 6-0 if bla bla bla...
What shouldnt have been was the state of your pitch, one of the most elite clubs in europe and they can't even produce a consistent surface, fkn joke. See what happens when the game is actually fast paced, milan can't keep up, simple, don't start preaching about should have beens like milan were hard done by
Nice to see some heart from Arsenal. Bad luck guys

I rated milan rubbish! They started the game with wrong attitude.... And they thought it's already finished! In second half they played better and controlled the game...
Arsenal showed a lot of heart there. A lot of teams would have felt beaten, and would've lost this match as well. Can't believe it though, 3-0 up at half time, and then shut out in the 2nd, must have been a real pants-wetting experience for Milan in the 2nd. Arsenal can walk off proud, with their heads held high
Look guys, I know we lost the tie, but I straight don't give a shib. Milan deserved the win from how they dominated at home, but this win saved face. We just beat the italian champions 3 nil while they had a full strength side and we had a side weak enough to let Wenger sub on Chamakh and Chu-Young.... Both of whom have seen barely any pitch at all this year. When does Wenger only use two subs? WHEN THE SIDE IS WEAK AS HELL! This is why I'm a gooner. All the let downs happen so that we can feel glory at times like this. What other team is going to lose a tie, but let everyone else feel so proud and amazed as they walk off. May God give us glory from here on out!
Lol, full strength Milan side? There far more banged up then Arsenal

What the f**k are you talking about.... Cassano pato boateng nesta flamini antonini seedorf Max merkel strasser yepes.... If we had only 50% of these players ready for this match. FULL strength? Are you kidding me?
Omarsalahsalem is so stupid.... Arsenal is freaking tired from the liverpool match and we have a lot of players injured too.... Dun say as if Milan has more injury players you douche.... Use some brain to talk so that people can respect you...
Shut THE f**k UP. Omar is 100% correct, using all of his brain. You're wrong and just mad you lost. We have more injuries than you, and are fighting to stay first in our domestic league, and to win our domestic league cup. The only thing you have to focus on is making at least fourth in the EPL. You're wrong so stfu and gtfo
