MANCHESTER United chose the worst night possible to turn in one of their poorest displays of their Champions League campaign.
Cristiano Ronaldo was poor. So was Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs.
At the back, the defence, supposedly strengthened by the re-introduction of Nemanja Vidic, creaked and groaned like an old gate in need of a spot of oil. In contrast, the home team were superb, with Kaka and Clarence Seedorf among the most impressive.
Nursing a single goal lead from the first meeting at Old Trafford last week, United saw their advantage wiped out by Kaka inside 11 minutes. Seedorf capped a brilliant personal display by netting the second on the half hour and hope had virtually evaporated for United by the time Alberto Gilardino drilled home a third late on.
Milan celebrate reaching their second final...
