AC Milan broke their long dry season.
The Rossoneri had last advanced to the last eight of the Champions League more than a decade ago, but the curse was broken in Wednesday’s quarter-final against Tottenham.
Milan reached London with a 1–0 lead, which it successfully defended until the end. Keeper Mike Maignan saved his team by making a save Harry Kane header in extra time given by the referee.
A place in the quarterfinals is also a relief for all of Italy, because three years have already passed since their last representative (Atalanta).
Tottenham was a bad disappointment. Its task became difficult in the 77th minute, when Cristian Romero doused himself in the shower with two warnings.
However, the elimination was not the solution to the pair of matches, because the visitors had the best goal positions in London as well. Tottenham’s defeat will also be ensured by its Italian manager Antonio Conte I’m leaving the club.
Conte has made no secret of his homesickness, but is anyone ready to hire the head coach of such a lackluster team?
Defender from Oulu Malick Thiaw performed flawlessly in Milan’s back lines.
