I've been too pessimistic about AC Milan in the Champions League this season after they failed to get any points in 3 consecutive group stage match. They have quality, but they are still not ready to do much in a big competition like the Champions League although I think they are just unlucky to be in the toughest group.
Yep, many Milan players are new to the atmosphere of the champions league. Dealing with Liverpool & Atletico who are on-fire is not a good thing. However, this is the start for the Milan players, they have proven that they can return to the UCL. There is no target from the AC Milan board, they might just want to see their strength in the UCL. Of course, all disappointed with this result, maybe in the next few years, Milan will have players who are ready to win again in the UCL.
This was the true exciting group for all neutrals. One team was perfect and one team was absolutely terrible and this was AC Milan. And it was such a heartbreak too after getting the last injury goal in the 5th game,,, Ibrahimovic must be feeling devastated they cannot even continue in Europa League.
Atletico is crazy. Start the last game bottom, finish the group second.
The good thing is, Ibra now has the opportunity to play more in Serie A, this will give Ibra time to rest with less AC Milan's competition schedule. Hopefully, Ibra will not face too many injury problems in the second half of the season, so he can get title again with Rossoneri.
