Mr Popodopolous Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) I did fancy Inter in this one but wish I'd put some cash on! Napoli must be wondering how they slipped out in the quarter finals, they're comfortably the best side in Italy this season and for 6-7 months were one of the top in Europe of course. One of the top 5-10 over the course of the season but some oddly unclinical games in recent months.

Commentators saying stonewall, and to me from the replays I think it’s a complete dive. Not saying I am right, just how we can see it with slow motion and still come to different views. Who would be a ref! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilC Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 Funny isn't it? City are Bristol City, not Bristol. You can't call Manchester City 'City' because they are, well, Manchester City. You can't say Sheffield because there's two Sheffield clubs. But AC are called Milan and Inter Milan are called Inter. I'm lost. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviestevieneville Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 Italian football . Takes diving to a new level , bloody embarrassing. Never a penalty .

I'm lost. The AC stands for Associazione Calco which translated means Football Club. So in English AC Milan are Milan FC. The club was founded by English expats and was originally called the Milan Football and Cricket Club.

cityexile Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 Football is never certain especially in a one off, but you would strongly fancy Man City or Real to take either of these apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Napoli would have been a stronger opponent than either of these, had they been able to maintain their form until February, March time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean they even get Madrid, as though atletico or vallecano have no say. Guess other countries fans are less sensitive to their full name being stolen, not recognized, disrespected. They are what they are and they own it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor stand in general for this level of football Potentially, although think Inter are a bit better than AC. Napoli very decent side, Juventus on paper have some good players but are lacking something. Think you do Inter a bit of a disservice too, Onana, Dumfries, Bastoni, Martinez plus when they're on it, Barella and Lukaku are quite good players. Skriniar is good but injured so not playing. Brozovic and Calhanoglu also quite good. 42 minutes ago, Super said: No idea how they beat Napoli. Napoli battered them over 2 legs in a few ways...possession, in some ways chances or shots but lost 2-1.

Bris Red Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 Sounds like an Unbelievable atmosphere there in the San Siro.. Really makes you realise how sanitised and sterile the vast majority of stadiums in the UK have become when you listen to the noise being generated by both sets of Milan fans! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought similar when I went to Roma v Inter in 2017. League game, only 50k there in an 80k stadium but definitely less sanitised etc. Edited May 10, 2023 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 Milan really missed Leao tonight, however they were absolutely poor and looked a low standard semi final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Robin Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) Good first leg for Inter: great first half, less positive second half (even because AC Milan grew into the game), but overall a good performance and a deserved win. Leao a big absence for them. Good refereeing too: no penalty (neither a dive, simply a soft contact), balanced use of bookings. I hope to see more of the same in the second leg.
