00:00The final act in what has been a competition that has entranced us throughout, never short
00:09on drama or emotion or talking points.
00:13This year's edition certainly does more than hold up to its predecessors.
00:18It seems this is the game in which everybody is keen to play a part.
00:22The stands are washed with colour, proud renditions of their songs from either end.
00:27It really does have all the ingredients of a top, top final.
00:36This is the gladiatorial arena that is the Stadio Olimpico for so long.
00:41He ran himself into trouble there, free kick given away.
00:45He wasn't very far from making something happen by himself.
01:02Lovely to see.
01:03He'll hit it!
01:04That's a waste.
01:05Well, it was hit with great power, Peter, but sadly not great precision.
01:13Brozovic.
01:14Ways to get it forward quickly.
01:17Carlsen.
01:18Jarvis.
01:19Tries to get it forward quickly.
01:31Carlsen.
01:32Jarvis.
01:33Played out to the right.
01:38Great strength.
01:40Too strong for his opponent.
01:49Carlsen.
01:50And the finish!
01:53Oh, Shane, that was nicely worked.
01:56That was created because of good, lively movement, which pretty much dictated the pass.
02:02And it's played forward.
02:25And it's played forward.
02:26Cleared without complication.
02:37Well, there's a lot of movement out wide now.
02:42Yeah, you can certainly see that.
02:44Well, I think it's a move to open the game up more, whether out wide or just getting a runner
02:49through the middle now.
02:52Martinez.
02:53Who's ball?
02:54Who's going to get there?
02:55Who's ball?
02:56Who's going to get there?
02:57Looking to get within range.
02:59Well, the crowd clearly like what they just saw.
03:02Some real no-nonsense defending.
03:08Right through the middle.
03:09He's away.
03:10Carlsen!
03:11That is absolutely glorious.
03:14Subtuous finish.
03:16An absolute joy.
03:19Could that be the start of something big?
03:28And that is stunning.
03:30Just too hot to handle.
03:31That is just the top draw finish.
03:33He was always in control and couldn't have placed them any better.
03:40There's no way.
03:41There's no one.
03:42It's a magnificent mockery on display.
03:43Here's a question.
03:44That's what I have left around the corner.
03:45Here's a question.
03:46The favour is a key, and it's a goal.
03:48This is not a key to every single one.
03:49Can you tell me why I have a key?
03:50Maybe you ain't a key?
03:51It's a key to say.
03:52I think that is a key.
03:53There's no tahu.
03:54The road is a key to every single one.
03:55It's a key to the other.
03:56This is a key to the middle.
03:57Milan have made their breakthrough, so can they build on it?
04:13Well, Peter, the emphasis should now switch to winning it
04:16rather than even thinking about losing it.
04:20Hoist it forward.
04:24Caramo.
04:24Good challenge, he just stood firm.
04:29The defence got the better of him this time, but I'm sure he'll go again.
04:36And the assistant referee has his flag raised for offside.
04:54More than happy to take the muscular approach.
04:58He's pinged one through here.
05:01He'll have a go.
05:03And that's off target.
05:05Well, Peter, I would say it was worth a try.
05:24Grozovich.
05:28Forward it goes.
05:30Finds himself eased off the ball.
05:32Carlson.
05:37Hellecure.
05:39Carlson.
05:40Real chance!
05:43Oh, that is rather wayward.
05:45Rozovich plays it out to the flank.
06:10Benega.
06:17A real chance if he can get through.
06:20Has a goal!
06:23Hits off target and by quite a way.
06:25Oh, no, that was a chance.
06:27What a chance.
06:28Benega picks it up from the goal kick.
06:42Had a shot!
06:45Oh, and they really should have been made to pay.
06:47He calls on!
07:02And the keeper's relief to see that disappear wide.
07:05And that's exactly the type of adventure we want to see in the final two, Peter.
07:09And it's a pity it didn't cause the net to bolt.
07:16Benega.
07:17Carlson battles to win it back.
07:20Chardis.
07:21Going for Cole!
07:25Last ditch defending, but that'll do.
07:27Could be...
07:28Shoots!
07:30And it's Calicuri.
07:31And the follow-up!
07:33Big relief.
07:34It just needed better contact.
07:36All he'd be thinking is, please, ground.
07:39Swallow me up.
07:40By the way.
07:41Big relief.
07:48Benega drives it forward.
07:53Carlson.
07:53Jarvis
07:56Jarvis
08:00Jarvis
08:01Lovely bit of skill
08:04It's a very good battle there
08:09Terrific to watch
08:19Jao Mario
08:20Hardly anything between the sides
08:24And it's 1-0
08:26Hoist it forward
08:30And it's Insignia
08:31It'll be a throw-in
08:41Lorenzo Insignia
08:42Tries to switch to play
08:44Caramo
08:45That's the throw
08:51Pass needed to be better than that
08:58And he knows it
08:59And it's played forward
09:03Carlsen
09:09It's been intercepted
09:10And that will come to nothing
09:12Tries it out of harm's way
09:15Rozovic
09:17Soric
09:19Takes control of it
09:21And he's on the move
09:22And that's been won straight back
09:28Danger averted for now
09:32Oh what a ball
09:42Carlsen
09:44Is alert to the possibilities
09:46But in the end
09:47It's fruitless
09:47This is promising
09:51As Serbi
09:53Goes looking
09:54Banega
09:57Chavez
10:02He acknowledges that he should have come up with something better there
10:08Oh that just required a bit more oomph to reach its target
10:12He's made sure that that won't get through
10:22And it's Immobile
10:25Gets wrestled off the ball
10:30That's a promising ball
10:33Carlsen
10:34Going through
10:36Hedda
10:38And that has been clubbed away
10:42Just brushed off the ball there
10:47Jarvis
10:51That's not going to make it
10:54Well there's the whistle
10:59First half of the final
11:00As flown by
11:02There we are
11:03Off they go for half time
11:04The breakthrough did indeed come in the first half
11:07And there has only been that one goal
11:09It is very very tight
11:11So we've had the first 45 minutes of the final Jim
11:16How's it looking for you?
11:18Well it's obvious who's likely to be more content going in at half time
11:21But I sincerely hope that there's a fitting response from the opposition
11:26To really engage us on the big occasion
11:28Milan having to have the lead in a tight old game
11:32Half time
11:321-0
11:33And we are already promptly back on the way
11:37Well 1-0 may be good enough
11:41So they may err on the side of caution
11:43And get more players behind the ball
11:45Instead of running beyond it
11:46They could even try to spoil it from here
11:48We'll see
11:49Gael Mario
11:55Stéphane De Vrij
12:04Loretto Insignia
12:08Looking cross field
12:09Changing the point of attack
12:11Gael Mario
12:15Did really well to intervene and dispel the growing danger
12:20Here it comes
12:21Jarvis
12:23And the
12:24Gets up to Henning
12:25He scored
12:27And this is getting better and better
12:33Well you know
12:38Thinking about that
12:39I think they perfected that on the training ground
12:41Because it took them seconds to get the ball from back to front
12:44And they really commit forward in numbers too
12:46It was all very well drilled
12:48Milan get themselves a two-goal cushion
13:03Milan get themselves a two-goal cushion
13:15The turning of the screw comes to mind Peter
13:18They've got them where they want them
13:20Across the field it goes
13:26Tries to get it forward quickly
13:30Jarvis
13:31Gets it back
13:32And he's on his way
13:34Jarvis
13:36Has a hit
13:37And more
13:39And more
13:40And more
13:41And surely
13:44That settles it
13:45Milan are really pouncing on any straight passes in midfield
13:53We're talking seconds from interception to the back of the net
13:56It's counter attacking Heather
13:57Gets it back off
14:02Gets it back from a
14:26three without reply this is becoming a stroll well it's been a an absolutely fabulous spell
14:50for them and they're starting to look unstoppable ciao mario is fouled
14:54the ref's been lenient here i doubt he'll get too many more chances
15:00lukaku
15:21who's loose who's getting there
15:25he's had a look that's good defending very good defending
15:32and it's banika and here's lukaku
15:37can't get the better of his opposite number
15:39gel mario
15:49in look gets it back
15:53he's through
15:55and that's a throw
16:04knocks it away
16:20ericsson
16:22ericsson
16:32it over to the other flank
16:36in look with a good steal well played
16:44well intercepted really alert to the danger
16:48this defense is is wary about opposition pace
16:53so they're just not getting too tight
16:54yeah they know that if they they step up their their keeper could get a whole lot busier
16:59and he has been fouled there
17:01lukaku
17:14rosevich
17:21it's pretty clear that he's being singled out
17:26yeah and the fact that he's registered peter simply encourages more attention of um of a closer nature
17:32he's had a goal
17:34he's had a goal
17:35he's had a goal
17:36and yes it's there
17:39players ecstatic
17:41fans delirious
17:43this is utopia
17:45and looking back at that that's how you play on the counter
17:51quick and decisive and ruthless with the finish
17:55i thought it was a stunning stunning break away
18:20Milan
18:22totally rampant here
18:27Jarvis
18:32it's Jarvis
18:34and in it goes
18:37surely that completes the demolition
18:41if it hadn't occurred already
18:43yeah by the looks of it
18:49there may be still more to come
18:51yeah
18:52yeah
18:55yeah
18:57yeah
18:58yeah
18:59yeah
19:01i
19:02yeah
19:02yeah
19:06yeah
19:08yeah
19:09yeah
19:12yeah
19:14yeah
19:17yeah
19:18There's going to be another change here.
19:40Milan tear their opponents apart once again.
19:44They are utterly ruthless.
19:45Well, they're very much the better team at the moment, Pete.
19:50Seifert is the guilty party there.
20:04And it's Immobile.
20:07It's a loose ball.
20:10Variety is the spice of footballing life too.
20:12They need to alter their approach and start shifting this ball out wide.
20:19It's got through to him.
20:21Up he gets.
20:23In it comes.
20:24Just another one to add to what has already been an incredible hole.
20:31Well, I wasn't expecting them to go this big, Peter, but they have been superb.
20:42He's made it three.
20:44Quite a day at the office for him.
20:46That defence must be sick of the sight of him.
20:48He's been persistent and ruthless all game.
20:50It just hasn't stopped working.
20:51Oh, now some movement on the bench and we are going to see a change.
21:16Yeah, their position is a dominant one now, Peter.
21:21So introducing one of the youngsters for some added experience is bang on.
21:25No doubt as to who has the momentum here now.
21:28The only doubt is how many is coming.
21:30The rent to insinia.
21:40Just brushed off the ball there.
21:42This was gone.
21:43That's a foul.
21:43Well.
22:00That's great strength on the ball.
22:09Carlsen.
22:12Jarvis.
22:13He's in space and looking for options.
22:16Gets the better of his man.
22:18And a shot!
22:20No, got right underneath it.
22:23Oh, I'm not sure what he had in mind.
22:25And I don't think he knew either.
22:26Oh, I'm not sure what he had in mind.
22:36Ericsson.
22:40Matruidi.
22:42Almost nothing left on the clock here.
22:45Just a few moments from glory.
22:48And it's insinia.
22:50Grosovic.
22:52Soric with the challenge.
22:54And he has given away a free kick.
22:56breaking.
23:11Insinia goes short.
23:13Matruidi.
23:16In chance!
23:21Jarvis.
23:23Forward it goes
23:30And it's Insignia
23:32Carlson
23:36This is the outcome
23:41It is good to see someone running at the defence like that
23:48Jarvis
23:49Jarvis
23:54Rozovic
23:59Matridi
24:04Caramo
24:07Moy
24:10Jarvis is on to it and can take it up
24:15Massive leap
24:19It wasn't a great header in the end
24:23Stefan de Vrij
24:26Four added mates on the board
24:28Nakaku
24:32Has come loose
24:34As Serbi drives it forward
24:37Oh good ball
24:38It's Jarvis
24:40It's Jarvis
24:47Matridi
24:50Caramo
24:51Battles to win it back
24:53And that is that
24:56Milan
24:59Milan
25:00The Rogers
25:01Tony
25:09New
25:10Lot
25:19Women
