Cardinale congratulates Inter on dominating Milan in Champions League tie

Inter headed into the second leg of the Champions League semi-final with a 2-0 lead over AC Milan and comfortably asserted their superiority. Rossoneri owner Gerry Cardinale congratulated the rivals after the game. 

Milan had a mountain to climb this evening and needed a miracle, frankly, which they never got. Inter had excellent control of the game from start to finish and also added a goal to their tally towards the end.

After tonight’s game, Milan owner Gerry Cardinale sent a message to Inter (via SempreMilan): “On behalf of Milan, I want to congratulate the entire Inter team and their fans for two well-played games. We wish them all the best for the final in Istanbul,” he said.

It’s a message that won’t go down too well with the Milan fans, even if it’s a nice gesture fair play-wise. Cardinale has been heavily criticised for the lack of investment since he took over the club and it remains to be seen what will happen in the summer, with major changes needed.
