It's fair to say that Serie A has felt the wrath of one club's
dominance in recent times, with Juventus winning the last...57 titles.
But today, we're going to be testing their current side versus one of football's greats
and the last non-Juventus team to win the competition.
It's an AC Milan team that features the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic,
Gennaro Gattuso, Robinho and Clarence Seedorf.
They've got Ronaldinho on the bench. Oh my. We kick things off,
though, with Juventus down the right-hand side. Ball lofted in towards Matuidi,
and it's 1-0 inside four minutes.
It's the perfect start for I Bianconeri. AC Milan caught off guard,
and Juve take an extremely early lead.
Here we go again. The domination has already started.
Hopefully Milan have learned from their mistakes
and at least don't give Juve that kind of space down the right-hand side.
We rejoin the action down Juve’s right-hand side, Cuadrado trying to find Ronaldo,
but he's unable to get on the end of it. It seemed like he could have got there.
Will they regret that? Zlatan Ibrahimovic seems to be finding himself
outside of his natural habitat down the right-hand side.
The ball is in and off the underside of the crossbar, Milan are this time the aerial threats.
It's the Ghanaian Kevin-Prince Boateng who's brought them back on level terms,
and Juve have been made to rue that missed opportunity with Cristiano. Half-time now,
and it may well take quite a lot of quality to break the tie situation that we
find ourselves in. Or that from Giorgio Chiellini.
It's an awful mistake, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic has punished him for it.
They're the masters of their own downfall, allowing Zlatan Ibrahimovic to complete a comeback
for Milan. Surprised he celebrated against a former
club. Though with the way he's travelled about Serie A clubs, I don't think he'd be able to
celebrate against anyone in Italy with that logic. The momentum
definitely with Milan now. Robinho with a lovely reverse ball
and the finish to match again from Ibra.
It's two for him, and it's two goals ahead for AC Milan.
You can't allow a top striker this kind of space, let alone a man who genuinely believes
he's Thanos. Juve pushing forward looking for a goal back,
but it might come back to bite them. It's that man again, Zlatan Ibrahimovic completes the hat-trick,
and it is four for Milan.
When I predicted the domination at the start,
I actually meant Milan, I didn't mean Juventus, you see.
And that is it, 10 minutes go by, Juventus can't get any sort of consolation,
and it is a 4-1 victory for the early 2010s AC Milan side.
A truly dominant performance against a truly dominant
club. Just goes to show how good that AC Milan side was.
