Adriano Galliani, the former CEO of AC Milan, has stated that if Sulley Muntari's goal against Juventus in 2012 was allowed, Milan would have still been a great franchise today.
AC Milan last won the Scudetto in 2011 and experienced a steady decline afterwards. In the view of Galliani, it all started after Sulley Muntari's goal against Juventus in 2012 was not taken.
“The real regret is the very regular goal not given to Muntari . We would have won the second consecutive Scudetto, our history would have changed,” he stated.
"If we had won the Scudetto we would not have sold Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva , two who still make the difference today. We could have started again with the fourth great Milan and I would have closed the purchase of Tevez . If it had gone as I say maybe we wouldn't have sold and maybe today we would still be there. Instead the Argentine went to Juve, who with him won three league titles in a row.”
Galliani is currently the CEO of AC Monza and Sulley Muntari is yet to find a new club.
