Olympiacos 3-0 Milan Primavera: Rossoneri lose by undeserved margin in final | OneFootball

AC Milan Primavera’s UEFA Youth League dream came crashing to an end in the final as they lost 3-0 against Olympiacos in Nyon.

All three goals for the Greek side came in the second half, and the avalanche was started by a very questionable penalty decision for a handball on Stalmach. Noah Raveyre guessed the right way but Mouzakitis’ penalty found the bottom corner to make it 1-0.

That was the first of a one-two punch that knocked Ignazio Abate’s side out as they then got a second goal with Papakanellos, who first got past Stalmach inside the box and lifted the ball over Raveyre to nestle it inside the far post.

In the 66th minute they got a third goal through Bakoulas, who latched onto a cross with an incredible overhead kick that dipped inside the near post.

Milan had chance after chance to get themselves back into the game, to the extent that they can actually consider themselves unlucky to have lost. Sia had two shots well saved, Zeroli fired over and Sina made a double stop on Sala and Simmelhack.

Although it didn’t end the way that they wanted, it was still an incredible and historic run for Abate’s side that took them past the likes of Braga, Real Madrid and Porto.
