An important game for Milan as they seek to claw back the points on the leaders Inter but despite dominating the game and Ronaldo scoring midway through the first half, Parma equalised immediately after the break and successfully defended throughout the remainder of the game and Milan left feeling they had lost 2 points rather than gained 1 :thdn:

Already ahead 3-0 from the first leg, Rouch warned his players not to be complacent in the home tie, and the team certainly took him at his word! Another penalty awarded to Milan gave them the opener on 19 minutes, giving Olympiakos a near impossible task of putting 4 goals past the Italians at home! 2 further goals in the second half from fat Ron put paid to any hopes the Greeks might have been harbouring and sent Milan through to the Quarter finals of the Champions League :eek:
Final Score : Milan 3 Olympiakos 0 (Milan win 6-0 on agg)
Milan Scorers : Oddo (Pen 19) Ronaldo (54, 83)
