Former AC Milan Chief Executive Officer, Adriano Galliani has revealed that the Rossoneri sold Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva because of Sulley Muntari’s ‘Ghost Goal’ against Juventus which contributed to denying them the Serie A title in 2012.
Milan lost the 2011-12 Serie A title to Juventus and had a Sulley Muntari’s goal disallowed in a San Siro clash against the Old Lady despite the ball had crossed the line. There was no goal-line technology at that time.
“It should have been allowed and we would have won the title that season,” Galliani told Libero.
“History would have changed. We sold Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva at the end of that season, two champions who are still playing at the highest levels.
“If things would have gone differently, they may still be Milan players and we could have signed Carlitos Tevez as well who, instead, signed for Juventus. With him, we would have won three Serie A titles in a row.”
