Milan, Season 2010/11

Another great season for me at AC Milan, 73.68% victories, 18.42% draw, more precisely 91 points in 38 league matches. Amazing for my team is the amount of goals that the team scored in the last two years, 192, this represents an average 2,52 goals per game.

The main idea is the following, two years in Italy, 2 league trophies, I’m very happy, the board is very happy, everybody is happy.

Derby matches

Milan-Inter 2-1 (Dzeko, Lucio o.g.)

Inter-Milan 0-0

Milan-Juventus 1-0 (Ronaldinho)

Juventus-Milan 1-1 (Dzeko)

Milan-Roma 4-0 (Pato 2, Zapata, Pirlo)

Roma-Milan 2-2 (Dzeko, Pato)

Champions League. After a brilliant Season 2009/10, when I managed to beat Chelsea FC 2-1 in the final, my team and I, where finally one of the top favorites in the competition.

The group draw, assigned me less powerful opponents then last year, Benfica, Kobenhavn, Timisoara. Due to two unexpected defeats against Benfica and 12 points from the other group matches, I finished again second in the group, that led to a two legged draw against Real Madrid in the First Knockout Round.

Real Madrid tougher that Barcelona. I found myself these years in a similar situation like last year, playing against one of the giants of the world, Real Madrid. Against Barcelona I managed to control the game in an obvious manner, but against Real, I really struggled, managing to qualify on away goals, after a 0-0 draw home, and 1-1 on Bernabeu, thanks to the goal of Klass-Jan Huntelaar.

Italian Quarter-Final. In the next round I played Fiorentina, one of my great league rivals. After I was brutally stunned at home 2-1, and got my team motivated, and managed to turn around the tables, winning 2-0 (Pato, Gourcuff).

Semi-Final agony. No Champions League Final for AC Milan this year. Arsenal bunch of wonder kids took me off guard, and managed to knock me out, after a 2-0 British win at San Siro and only a 1-0 win provided by Dzeko on Emirates.
