The hopes of seeing an all-England final in the UEFA Champions League were shattered on May 2 at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium in Milan, as the home team defeated Manchester United by 3-0.
Since the first match played last week in Manchester had ended with a 3-2 victory for the Red Devils the English team had a good chance of advancing to the grand finale that will be played on May 23 in Athens, Greece.
Some 6,000 loyal Manchester United fans made the trip to Milan only to be disappointed by their team's ineffective play on a rainy evening.
All credit must go to the A.C. Milan players that came out onto the pitch with a clear objective of scoring as soon as possible and evening up the aggregate score.
After the and final blow, United were too demoralized to change the tide of play and it will be A.C.Milan that will go for its seventh European championship title against Liverpool in Athens, and get revenge on the defeat suffered in the 2005 final against the English team.
