Man City 5-3 AC Milan, don't joke with 'rich guys' 0
Man City shows that they are a formidable opponent in Europe next season.
If you don’t watch it live and look at the 5-3 score, many people will mistakenly think it’s an exciting duel between two of Europe’s top teams.
In just over 30 minutes, Man City poured 5 goals into Milan’s net.
Right in the fourth minute, David Silva opened the score after cutting in and shooting.
Launching the strongest lineup, coach Pellegrini did not hide his intention to play offensively when choosing the 4-3-3 formation.
Jesus Navas’ speed compensates for a technical player like Silva, creating a new breakthrough on the right wing.
Besides Navas, Montenegrin talent Stevan Jovetic also promptly shined with two direct assists for Silva and Kolarov to score.
Milan rallied at the end of the first half but was clearly far behind Man City in terms of strength.
Man City continued to be the team that controlled the game in the second half.
As for Milan, it seems that the match just over 2 days ago against Valencia in the US hurt them.
The defense played haphazardly with reserve players who could hardly stop Man City’s expensive attacking stars.
Up to now, Milan has not had a truly quality contract other than the extension with Robinho.
With a victory over Milan, Man City will meet either Bayern or Sao Paulo in the 2013 Audi Cup final.
