The victory over Arsenal bitter, the sweetest defeat Milan

For a moment the Milan saw life pass before his eyes. At that moment, with a 3-0 win against, Abbiati was responsible for awakening from lethargy to the Italians, who had just seen how Van Persie wasted the best chance of Arsenal to match the tie. The 4-0 first-leg caused an unexpected drowsiness to those of Allegri, which came together three goals in the first half ... and thanks. They say a night sleep is a wasted night. At that, the Rossoneri woke up in time.

The Emirates has witnessed a real great game. Superlative was the first time as was the set of Arsène Wenger, who went missing access to the quarterfinals despite the win in San Siro embedded. The pity is that the show was reduced to the first forty-five minutes. In this time interval the Arsenal exploited the shortcomings of his rival, frightened and distressed, as if running out the clock to see it were, as if waiting time from before.

The first act, as mentioned, was a scandal. Arsenal soon found the cracks where tickle Milan. And prontito Koscielny took advantage of a corner to appear before a swarm of players, friends and enemies, and head out of the reach of Abbiati. Rosicky, the best gunners, set it 2-0 before reaching the half hour. The Czech player exquisite perfection defined a poor clearance by Thiago Silva.

The second goal came at the best local time. Abbiati had to work back to disrupt seconds before launching a bright distant Van Persie and Milan succumbed to the fresh offensive of Arsenal, who wanted to squander on the fast track an adverse outcome they considered unfair. Close he was to do, especially when Chamberlain was the victim of a 'double' feet penalty to Nocerino and Mesbah, who squeezed into English under the eyes of Skomina.

Van Persie again, and this time he put together his prodigious left leg to deceive Abbiati and the almost unimaginable place shortly after the break 3-0. Neither reacted with these Milan, which had in the boots of the Shaarawy the tie had it not be because the Egyptian-born Italian midfielder marró when I had it all to face with Szczesny. The stadium, once the referee pointed the way to the locker room, rubbing his hands, then, for once, the rain was London goals.

The wonder was in the air. If the first half we got three, how many will be able to achieve in the second? The answer, of desolation for the neutral fan to fan himself English, was overwhelming at the same brief: zero. The initial thrust of Arsenal contrasted with the weariness with which emerged after the stopover. Szczesny started to smell the ball more, but the real savior turned out to be his counterpart on the other side, Abbiatti.

A double paradón that earned a playoff. The first, his feet after a shot that hit Mexès Gervinho, the second the next, and hopefully, finding his hand an attempt to Van Persie jelly when the Italian goalkeeper was on the floor. A dramatic intervention in the absence of the rollover could have meant the elimination final and the subsequent extension. But then Wenger's charges began to deflate.

The potential could go 4-0 to 3-1, a result that had been given the final wear home. Ibrahimovic could unbalance the marker in a couple of good chances as well as the Shaarawy. But the closer had the goal was Nocerino, who commanded the dummy a pass graph of Aquilani, reappeared after three months out. The excitement died down, Arsenal came increasingly chastised and shy, and initial agitation resulted in resignation end.

The victory over Arsenal bitter, the sweetest defeat of Milan. So you could define a match where they swam and swam the English to die on the shore and where the Italians, not without pain but with a good float (four goals), asserted their style book. The Allegri must lather the picture given in the Emirates, or just improve it, if they are to make the cut in the quarterfinals of the Champions League next season Rossoneri.
