I can’t believe we did it man. Back in 2014 and 2015, I used to question whether we would ever be a good club again. Years later we had Gattuso who did a good job, replaced him Giampaolo, and I thought all of the progress we made was already over. Then Pioli got the job, I watched some videos about him, and I told my parents that he would be the one to lift us back up (not to scudetto level though) and now our future looks so bright. And our club is finally being run properly.

[@CriusXI]

Leao actually almost had 5 asissts. Ibra’s offside goal, and Calabrias missed shot

[@bossvinny5940]

Calabria has missed like 5 clear chances, he needs to improve his shooting

[@TheNurazizoctoviawan]

Just wanna say thanks for this podcast, part of my Milanisti journey, especially during the gloomy era, where I can see a lot of discussion about how Milan can bounce back. and now, here it is! Fantastic job Oli, Maddy and Anthony!

Thank you brother! Thank you for always asking great questions as well, you are a part of our journey also!

[@B4k3r33]

I was in London on Sunday and managed to get inside for the game with the London Milan Club. It was buzzing!! It was truly the best way to experience the game outside of the stadium. The fans were extremely loud, you could hear them 2 blocks away even though it was only like 20 of them an hour and a half before the game!! The passion and happiness were off the charts!!! Congratulations Milan fans! This is HUGE, and it paid off all the shit we have been through in the last decade or so. The lads need a break and we will be back to conquer Europe very soon!! FORZA MILAN SEMPRE!!!! 🔴⚫

[@TheFergo911]

I have to say that speech by Zlatan, If ever there is a fan who wanted to know what Zlatan is like as a leader, that is the clip u want to show. I mean the energy and the adrenaline. I can see that he is not going to find this anywhere else once he leaves. I don't know who is ever able to replace that figure in the dressing room.

[@dvd08270]

Origi? 😅

[@MasterUpload2010]

People that are already here have to step up to replce this leader

[@philip69359]

Love walking along side you guys while supporting Milan through all the ups and downs 👊🥇♠♥

[@simdogg8412]

Didnt think i would be so relaxed by half time. This team showed some that they have grown into men. We can take on any european club with this mentality and believe we can win. Cant wait for next season already

[@mapmyops]

Congratulations Team SempreMilan! this win means a lot for all of us. You guys played an important role in bringing the news and discussions each day and week respectively. I concur with Maddie's views at most times. Oli - the cricket + football writer :). Anthony's views have evolved this year and makes more sense. The guests are great too!

[@SempreMilan]

I like to keep people on their toes -Anthony😉

[@AC_Milan1899]

Proud of our team and our amazing fans

[@warrenlees1212]

What an incredible season. I've been watching Milan as a fan since the late 90's and this has been the most enjoyable title. To achieve it with such a young group of players and without the financial resources of years gone by. They have definitely done it the hard way. I live in Australia so had to get up at 2am to watch the final game on a Monday morning and then go straight to a day at the office after the on field celebrations. So the party time had to wait :(. Congrats on the podcast guys. You do a great job. Despite the mentions of those weird American sports sometimes.

[@anatolgobjila5568]

You guys rock! Thank you❤️❤️❤️

[@poya6986]

gonna really miss kessie. he's perfect. congrats to milan. next up is champions league :)

[@poya6986]

@yausheaACM lmao na man can't even compare that guy to kessie. kessie's on another level. individually he had a better season last year but this year i think it's safe to label him as world class.

[@AC_Milan1899]

Got to keep hold of our youngsters. Kalulu looks to be a future great.

[@fulcrum2988]

A huge thank you for this podcast. It's been my companion after every match. What a year it's been, still can't believe it. Time to take a deeeep breath and go out and crush next year. Forza Milan!!!

[@abhijithmohan8161]

Are you even a real Milanfan if you aren’t traumatised every time Milan go into half time up by 3 goals?

[@jasbains5722]

What a journey ive been a fan for 30years and yesterday was such a relief for all milan fans. Im so excited for the future.

[@slimsimtv]

they did it! ❤️🖤

[@Joeybandough]

I’ve been believing since the beginning and we’ve done it. Congratulations to all the boys on the team and thank you for making us all proud :)

[@Labgorilla]

No flops. None at all. Everyone was a hero yesterday from kit man to team doctor to salad maker, to training pitch. Everything Milan is perfect. Kessie and Ibra will go on a high. But with redbird buying Milan it is clear we won’t be buying many players and we won’t have a €300M war chest at all. It will be more of the same. Looking ahead to the medium to long term, Leão can’t stay as we simply won’t break our ceiling for him. Hence let’s just enjoy what he gives us for as long as we can. An incredible season and thank you all for your efforts too.

[@danielarroyo6055]

[@J0hnAnthony]

Had to rewatch Milan qualifying for Europa league against rio ave. I’ll still never believe it, wasn’t that long ago either. I remember how happy I was for something so small, and now I get to celebrate us winning the scudetto! We fully deserved it, just amazed how far this team has come grande maldini ❤️🖤

[@AC_Milan1899]

That crazy penalty shoot out!!!

[@carella211]

Just think about how young the main core of this team is. We're going to be dominating for years to come!

[@robwaddell99]

Priorities Renew leao Get an attacking midfielder , but I can see us switching to a 433 with sanches tonali bennacer all starting so in that case we don’t need a 10 as much as we would with current system Get a good right winger Keep messias and sell salemakers. Messias better and we can make money selling salemakers I would say striker but I’ve a feeling origi will be great for us

[@motaznazal7158]

you guys looked a lot happier in last season finale than this season 😂😂

[@anthonytorgrude8702]

I think that was a live reaction after the game. This came a day later after the celebration so we were a bit on the mend lol

Maguire has a place over Tomori in the English national team. Let that sink in.

[@UTPlaysNepal]

Pioli medal will be up in ebay soon I guess.

[@BK-hb1mk]

So so happy for the title, let’s enjoy it and get the 2nd star next season. We need to sign a few players that make the squad even stronger. Botman, Renato Sanches, Berardi & Origi would be amazing. Don’t forget that Pobega is coming back from loan and the Bordeaux CAM called Adli is coming aswell. Leao needs a new contract and the #7 or #10. My 11: Maignan Kalulu-Tomori-Botman-Theo Tonali-Bennacer Berardi-Sanches-Leao Origi Bench: GK, Calabria, Florenzi, Kjaer, Gabbia, Pobega, Krunic, Adli, Saelemakers, Rebic, Giroud & Zlatan Amazing squad.

[@BK-hb1mk]

Theo as (C) in that eleven.

[@MattRobson1]

andiamo!!

[@SempreMilan]

Love you Matt!

[@SempreMilan]

Still doesn't feel real! Milan actually did it wow

[@ziontrain7887]

I’m not worried about next season. If Milan invest in quality players to improve the current squad we will definitely have a good chance of winning the scudetto again. Juventus is in a rebuilding process that will take a season or two for them to seriously compete for the scudetto. Napoli is Napoli. A team with no courage or mental strength to win Serie A. They had some many chances when Juventus won 9 titles. Inter will sell a top player or two and without a player like Lukaku or a coach like Conte who has strong leadership qualities they will not win Serie A. They will be our closest rivals next season but we will get to finish line ahead of them again especially if Ibra stays for another season. Roma, Atalanta and Lazio are not title contenders.
