Match Report: Fiorentina 0 - Milan 2

In the final game of the season, Milan beat Fiorentina 2-0 (goals by Kaka and Pato).  It was Paolo Maldini's final game (number 902, to be exact).  (See picture below).  Now the way is clear for manager Carlo Ancelotti to leave - probably to go to Chelsea - to probably be replaced by Leonardo.  (See picture above - Ancelotti is on the left; Leonardo, on the right.)  If this is true, we here at Ape Canyon News Service wish Carlo all the best, even if we don't like Chelsea.  He has done a wonderful job for Milan over the years.

Milan 1 - Juventus 1

Milan tied Juventus 1-1 today, pretty much ending whatever incredibly remote chance there was that they could catch Inter and win this year's Scudetto.  The tie also means that Juventus still have their own (remote) chance of catching Milan for second place in Serie A.  Seedorf scored for Milan early in the second half, but then Iaquinta tied it up only a couple of minutes later.  The most important statistics are these, however:

• Number of loud explosions set off by the fans during the match: 6.
• Numbers of times Inzaghi was whistled for being offside: 4
