Milan's Late Heroics Fall Short in Dramatic Finale

NYON, Switzerland (AP) - April 22, 2024 - AC Milan's youth team narrowly missed out on the UEFA Youth League title after falling 3-0 to Olympiacos in the final on Monday.

Despite a dominant performance in the first half, Milan conceded three goals in a six-minute span in the second half. Olympiacos's victory marked the first time a Greek club has taken home the UEFA Youth League trophy.

Milan had several chances to open the scoring early on, but Olympiacos's goalkeeper made a series of key saves. In the 60th minute, Olympiacos's Ioannis Masouras broke the deadlock with a stunning strike from outside the box.

Just minutes later, Milan's situation worsened when Konstantinos Tsimikas doubled Olympiacos's advantage. The third goal came in the 65th minute, as Giorgos Masouras put the game beyond Milan's reach.

Milan rallied late in the game, with Lorenzo Colombo scoring in the 89th minute. However, Olympiacos held on for the win, securing the title.

The defeat marked a disappointing end to a promising season for Milan's youth team. However, the team's performance throughout the tournament showed that they have a bright future ahead.
