The better team won
Chelsea reject Hernan Crespo knocked Manchester United out of the Champions League with the only goal to give AC Milan a 2-0 aggregate victory in the San Siro.Well. I watched this match. And i must say that i dun feel any regrets for Utd being kicked out. No matter how much i support them, even a fool can tell Milan played better over the 2-leg.Experience counts in this kinda match .. and in Milan .. they had lots of it. No complain.~~~~~~~Ferguson was fulsome in his praise of the Italian side and was particularly impressed by the professional way they approached the tie.

He continued: 'Cafu's performance was important tonight - he must have two hearts the way he keeps going. And if Maldini carries on for another four or five years I think I will quit.' 'We play a lot of European teams on their own grounds and have to tolerate a lot of histrionics. We didn't get any of that from Milan. They conducted themselves in an impeccable manner.
