Milan's second leg against Mechelen in the 1989-1990 European Cup quarter-finals must be one of the most dominant performances ever. Mechelen wasn't really a bad team, Milan was even lucky to draw the first leg 0-0, but the second leg was ridiculous. Say any score, Milan could have won by that. It's mind-blowing that the game finished 0-0 in normal time, Milan should have won 10-0 at least by then, this is no exaggeration. Only wo things held Milan back: Preud'Homme amazing at the goal and Milan's terrible finishing. The two videos above are highlights of the match, please watch. How did Mechelen not only avoid being defeated 10-0, but also finish normal time 0-0? Insane!
Also, what an amazing player Donadoni was, a fast and very skilled dribbling winger! Underrated nowadays for sure. And his red card in this match was lamentable. I can't say that Donadoni didn't deserve it because he clearly punched his adversary on the face, but he only did that after being fouled and slapped on the face by the Mechelen player (see 2:42 of the second video that I posted), but the referee didn't see it and only Donadoni got sent off. Extremely unfair.
