"Gerard was on the sidelines waving for the Barcelona players to drop back to midfield to defend, it seems the Barça coach is determined to wear down Milan with a numerical and physical advantage,"
"Now the best way to break the deadlock is to score another goal and not give Barcelona a chance to go into overtime, but scoring a goal is not easy, and there's not much time left for Milan."
Ancelotti reminded the players of this on the sidelines.
Even if he hadn't mentioned it,
as top-level players, the Milan players also understood the predicament facing the team at that moment.
Even if there were two more spots,
the numerical difference couldn't be bridged.
After restarting the game, the Barcelona players had all returned to half-field to defend.
Gattuso, exhausted from running around the field, received the ball but his feet faltered, passing it directly to Eto'o, who turned around immediately for a back pass, and Barcelona began passing in the backfield.
