FT AC Milan 1-3 Borussia Dortmund Huge win to send Dortmund top of the group!
Milan didn't belong to the CL this year, they shouldn't be there given they were fifth last year.
Milan were hard done by their poor finishing imho. The should've won both first legs vs Newcastle/BVB.
We were complete ass against BVB the first leg.
I laugh every time I see "they should have won", what a ridiculous claim. They deserved to lose and draw, they are trash.
