AC Milan have a tendency to rarely make things easy for themselves, something which is reflected in the sheer number of late winners they have scored.
Milan have published a video on their YouTube channel which picks out what is in their opinion the top 25 late winners at last in more modern times, with some obvious candidates such as Sandro Tonali’s against Lazio.
There are a couple away against Udinese including Alessio Romagnoli’s strike and Noah Okafor’s this season, and speaking of the Swiss forward his goal against Lazio makes it.
Christian Pulisic’s winner against Genoa gets in, while Olivier Giroud features and some names from the past such as Patrick Cutrone, Hernan Crespo and Massimo Ambrosini are included.
The video is not playing on the app for some reason but that Tonali goal vs Lazio should definitely be up there. It’s a big reason for the title that year. The other as they mentioned in the article was Ambro and I hope it’s the Ambrosini header… my memory might be fuzzy here., I believe it was against PSV and it was decisive in terms of progress to the next round. We were very lax in that game tbh. Good times tho
It looks like that, I think we were down 2-0 and the game would go to extra time, we scored with Ambro, and then PSV scored another one after the 90th minute but we qualified on away goals.
I’d put there also the header of Weah in the first leg of the Italian Cup final against Lazio in 97-98(which we lost on the return leg, goddamn Gottardi 🙁 )…
The goal of Leonardo in the extra time against Lazio i and the goal of Maurizio Ganz (autogol) in the win against Sampdori 3-2 … both in the 98-99 scudetto
Yes for some reason I thought ambro scored around 60/70mins (is that correct?).. memory is going lol only so much stuff I can store in it . I did recall the interview he gave after about being happy he was decisive in the tie
Top 1 dramatic late winner missed: Shevchenko from the 6 in extra time of the 2005 CL final. Critics of the Leao “miss” against Slavia should go watch that one.
The one that Dudek saved? 😔 To this day I hv no fcking clue how he save that even though I know I’ve seen it ..I still just can’t believe it
What a great compilation! So many memories. It’s often frustrating to be a Milan supporter, but moments like these make it worth it (this and the trophies). Forza Milan!
