Silvio Berlusconi responsible for Milan performance

Silvio Berlusconi’s tactics were the integral to Milan holding Barcelona in the Champions League, according to the daughter of the former Italian prime minister.

The Serie A team held the Barcelona to a 1-1 draw at the San Siro on Tuesday night.

And Barbara Berlusconi, who is a Milan director, said her father and the club’s owner had offered his advice to the players.

She said: “He’s [Silvio] satisfied, also because some of the tactical suggestions he had given to the coach were adhered to.

“It was a decent performance, showing above all heart and character.”

Not sure what advice the septuagenerian Berlusconi could have offered his players; steer clear of underage prostitutes if they wish to stay out of trouble, perhaps?
