Milan hosts Madrid rematch

MILAN, Italy -- "It's not about revenge, it really isn't. It's about a second chance, an opportunity you did not think you would ever get again. It's a gift, really. And you want to take it."

On Wednesday, I had the opportunity to talk to Massimo Ambrosini and Cafu who, in their own way, can probably relate to how Atletico Madrid feel ahead of Saturday's Champions League final against Real Madrid. These two former Milan teammates also had the cup wrapped up, only for it to slip from their grasp in the most improbable and dramatic way. And, two years later, they also were granted another opportunity.
