Udinese vs AC Milan - 22nd May 2011, match 38

This was the last match of the season and was just a formality as Milan have already claimed the title.The match was ok, we played well but it ended in a nil-nil draw which helped Udinese a lot but did nothing for us. But there is nothing to worry about since we did not need the match anyway.

Finally, the 2010-11 season has ended with Milan as the Italian champions. I'm happy with our Serie A campaign but I really hope we go further next season in our TIM Cup and the UEFA league. All-in-all it was a fun season full of drama, exhilarating performances, frustrating disappointments and most of all rejuvenating victory.

It was fun sharing this experience with you and I hope you had fun too. Ciao

AC Milan vs Cagliari - 14th May 2011, match 37

Wow...Amazing!!! There's nothing more to say. Our 4-1 win says it all for us. Seedorf, Gattuso and Robinho gave us our statement goals and the celebration that followed after, was phenomenal to say the least. I hope you guys joined in celebrating the end of Milan's title drought.

Ibrahimovich did not play but that was okay although I do find Allegri's penchant for keeping Ibra in the bench a bit disturbing. Pato, Robinho, Seedorf, Abate, even Zambrotta gave them something to think about. Our team played very well especially at the front as we hit their defence several times with quick succession. Our defence was marvelous as usual and our midfielders held their own. Even our substitutions were on point! Allegri and the team outdid themselves this time, giving us an entertaining match to kick off the celebrations.

The title is ours but the season has not yet ended, we still have one more match to go and I'll see you one last time this season. See u there.

Palermo vs AC Milan - 10th May 2011, TIM Cup Semi - Final, Second Leg

The match ended in a 2-1 loss for Milan eliminating us from the cup. I think Allegri's mistake was not playing Ibrahimovich in the starting line-up. I really, really wonder what he was thinking. We made lots of mistakes at the back which resulted in us conceding 2 goals - 1 from a penalty kick - all in the second half of the match. The only uplifting point of the match was when Ibrahimovich scored his goal in the 4th minute of the 5 minute extra time we were given.

Oh well, we're out but I'm glad we went out with a fight and no one can call us losers cos win or lose, we're winners. But I would say Allegri should watch himself next time when he is picking players for a match. If you have a good player, use him, don't keep him on the bench and hope for a miracle especially on important match days like this one.

Even though we have won the Scudetto already, we still have 2 more matches before the season ends.
See you at the next match.

AS Roma vs AC Milan - 7th May 2011, match 36

The match ended in a draw but we got that one point we needed to win our 18th Scudetto. Roma played well but they tired quickly while even though our game was slow, our defence was steady and our midfield was tight. Our strikers gave the opposition plenty to think about especially Ibrahimovich with his freekick.

The match saw the return of both Pato and Ibrahimovich to the team. Ibrahimovich started the match while Pato came in as a Sub for Robinho in the second half. Robinho had lost some chances and Boateng had lost some too, but I think the game was in our favour from the start.

The fans, those at the stadium and those watching from home , and the Milan bench were all at the edge of their seats or standing just waiting for that final whistle so they could start the celebration. Although the season is not officially over, I am proud to say that Milan has won the title.

To all Milan fans out there...Hurray!!!!

But do try to curb your excitements and celebration cos up next we have the second leg of the TIM cup at Palermo. See you there
