Stalmach scored in the 12th minute and El Hilali in the 67th minute. Abate’s Rossoneri will find the winner of Az Alkmaar-Real Madrid on 21 April in Switzerland
He slipped on the grass like Torres and took Milan to the semifinals of the Youth League. Tale of Stalmach, the golden Pole who rejoices like Fernando, and a Rossoneri feat, enriched by the doubling of El Hilali. The Abate gang beat Atletico of the two Niños 2-0, one on the pitch and the other on the bench, and entered the top four for the first time. Appointment in Nyon (April 21-24) against the winner between Real and Az Alkmaar, on the field tomorrow.
In the other quarter, Sporting Lisbon eliminated Liverpool (1-0) and awaits the winner of Borussia Dortmund-Hajduk Split, who are also on the field tomorrow. A test of personality against one of the best teams in the tournament, fresh from the 4-1 trimmed against Genk and from a group finished in first place with 14 goals. In a sold out Vismara with more than 700 people – under the eyes of Maldini, Massara and Moncada – Abate celebrates a historic result.

After a couple of minutes Fernando Torres is already standing to give directions. He screams “Niño” loudly, the nickname of a lifetime, but he refers to the spearhead of Atletico who goes by the same name as him. Instead of the 9 he wears the 7, he has scored eight goals in seven games and slips away which is a beauty. In the 3rd minute he sends Gonzalez on goal, then looks for a couple of extensions in the open field, but the Rossoneri block is solid. The flash comes after ten minutes: Milan dribble out of an awkward situation on the left, then change the game, phrasing in the strait and puts Bakoune on the right. The sixteen year old – the youngest in the field – disguises himself as Theo and serves Stalmach, who pits Iturbe and slips on the grass like the real Niño did. Second goal of the season for the Pole. The first half ends with protests from Vismara for a yellow card in Traoré. There is contact with Gonzalez in the area, but the referee sanctions the winger for simulation.

Torres encourages his team in the interval and Atletico returns to the field to the sound of “dale” and “vamos”. El Jebari is the most inspired, he dribbles and looks for an inspiration, but he shuts down at the best moment. Just like Niño, caught in the grip of Coubis and Simic, today impeccable. Among the protagonists also the two full-backs, Bakoune and Bozzolan. The latter, net of an amnesia in the first half, pushed with continuity and courage, sending the Madrid players into a tailspin. The first, however, served the assist to make it 1-0. The match ball is all El Hilali’s though, good at punishing Atletico with a right foot like Insigne after a good action. Perhaps it would be the Spanish goalkeeper’s own goal: the ball hit the post and slammed into his back, just like Theo against Atalanta, but in the end El Hilali celebrated (his goal for UEFA), submerged by his teammates near the flag. At the end of the game Torres took his leave shaking hands with his former partner Abate, whom he met in Milan in the year of Inzaghi. In 2014 he scored the only goal for the Rossoneri on an assist from Ignazio, at the Castellani in Empoli. Today he comes out with regrets. At the end of the game he celebrates on the pitch with hugs and chants as expected. Abbot gathers the team in a circle for a motivational speech. One can and must dream, but with one’s feet on the ground. Meanwhile, among the best four teams in baby Europe there is a brave Milan.
