Yeah truly amazing , but all 3 goals were scored by his head , no back-heeling and all. Talking of the hat trick goal , it was simply outstanding . He has got unbelievable anticipation and balance .

Watch that video again, the replay at 1:11. Shows him back heel it in! Unbelievable!

 

[ZexyZahid]

You're right. From the naked eye it looks like he scored with his head, but the replay shows he scored it with his heel.

This goal could be nominated for the FIFA Puskas Award for upcoming year.

OMG just saw that video (had earlier only seen those goals in BBC television sports news). Incredible is all i can say , how did he do that ??

So Urby Emanuelson is joining A.C. Milan. Comments anybody?

 

[Dr. Pepper]

Not a bad signing. Got his best years ahead of him, milan fullbacks are starting to age, and he can play as a winger as well as opposed to all others who are inside forwards or central players.

Ibrahimovic scores another cracking goal as milan dominate cesena (keeper was excellent and kept it from an embarrassing scoreline. Cassano's pass for the first goal was brilliant. Robinho had some great moments and deserved to score, very unlucky. Milan are looking good, all credit to Allegri for masterminding it all.

While Inter have tasted defeat for the first time under their new boss Leonardo . Tamed by Udinese at the Friuli . Glad to see Roma well palced to play CL football next season , great comeback after their initial woes .

And it must be noted too that Inter Milan under Leonardo are yet to keep a clean sheet.

Mark van Bommel has moved to AC Milan. Another player in his 30s for them but he should be a good buy considering the likes of Gattuso isn't getting any younger.

 

[Auwais]

It's only on a six-month contract and he's only there because Seedorf, Gattuso, Flamini and Boateng are injured. A sort of last minute deal scrambled in to provide cover in the short term.

Yeah thats more than a perfect signing to me given the way gattuso has been playing of late . Even better signing was Urby Emanuelson , they of all time needed a left wingback since they had operated that position with Zambrotta and Antonini , both who were not doing a good job to help their title chances . But this signing is spot-on and Milan now have all bases covered . Well done Allegri !

Too bad he can't play in Champions League when it resumes for Milan though.

Yeah but i guess their main priority is the Serie A . Champions league title needs some extraordinary football from Milan . Quarters is their best chance , no further .

If they get pass Spurs and with a bit of luck in the draw, then you never know.

Napoli go out in coppa italia to Inter on pens. Neither team played well, but Napoli were better. Tactically they were spot on to counter inter (just like udinese were on weekend) but the players just didn't perform.
