4. Aerial Ability
Massimo Ambrosini is always a threat in the air. Hes scored 36 goals for Milan as a defensive midfielder a great deal of them thanks to his powerful and well-placed headers. A constant threat in the box, Ambro was always capable of turning a match on its head. The most memorable instance was in the second leg semifinal of the 2004-2005 Champions League. As Milan was losing 2-0 at PSV Eindhoven, the squad needed just one away goal to seal qualification for the final. The game was mere minutes from concluding. Brazilian playmaker Kaka launched a great cross into PSVs penalty box and Massimo Ambrosini dropped his head, reaching to get a touch of the swerving ball the ball smashed into the net and Milan got a vital away goal. Ambrosini, who was captain for the game as Maldini was out, had picked up a yellow card and would be unable to play in the final. Ambrosini shrugged off the goal and said it meant nothing if Milan wouldnt go on to win the final. Without Ambro, Milan would go on to lose the 2005 Champions League final to Liverpool in a memorable match.
