Nice coverage of AC Milan v. FC Barcelona in today's Post.
My favorite passage:
"You knew when AC Milan had arrived at RFK last evening for its friendly with FC Barcelona. Sure, some of the players getting off the team bus looked familiar, none more so than the blue-eyed, dark-haired Paolo Maldini. Of the 35-year-old team and national treasure, a publicist wrote in the game program that his is "a face which, for several years, has been the strongest argument for the beauty of the Italian game."
There was something else about this traveling party that roared up to the stadium behind a police escort.
It was the suits, the perfectly tailored suits worn by club officials and supernumeraries. They favored grays and pinstripes, crisp shirts and stylish ties, and formed an assemblage of elegance you don't see in the company of American athletes. These guys had to be from Milan.
They looked like European champions, and they are."
Sounds like Queer Eye for the Straight Soccer Guy!
Link to \"Dressing the Part\" btw -- Barthelona won by 2-0.
