Congratulations

We would like to congratulate Silvio Berlusconi for adding, yet another diamond to his already amazing Bon Vivant career. On Wednesday May 23, and before a full crowd at the Athens Olympic Stadium, his team, AC Milan won the UEFA Champions League for the 7th time. This leaves them now as the second team with the most championships, just behind Real Madrid with 10. The Rossoneri struggled through the first half, but just before it was over Andrea Pirlo punted a free kick into Pippo Inzaghi, who bounced the ball into the net with his shoulder. In the second half, the game was very thight, but then Kaka, the brazilian super star, gave a astonishing through to Inzaghi, who dribbled the Liverpool's goalie and dramatically send the ball once more into the net. In the last minutes, Liverpool struggled back an managed to score a goal, altough in a controversial onside position. At the end, it was not enough, and the AC Milan's fans could watch their legendary captain, Paolo Maldini, lift the cup once more. Also, our famous Bon Vivant enjoyed the glory of his players, as he was lifted in shoulders by them. So, congratulations Silvio, and congratulations AC Milan.
