The first thing the Rossoneri fans wanted to do in Manchester immediately after their victory in the historic first all-Italian Champions League final, was to break into song. That's right, belting out AC Milan's anthem into the night's sky. At that moment it was truly a hymn of joy. But even when you don't win, it is still a hymn to sporting values, to a sense of belonging, to a sense of pride.
When an AC Milan fan listens to the words and the music of his heart and of his anthem, he becomes immersed in the moment, he is moved, he lets himself go and he surrenders completely to it. Because in those notes are condensed all the emotions and all the feelings that you feel from match to match, from year to year.
It was like this with Tony Renis and Massimo Guantini, it was like this with Emis Killa and Saturnino, it was like this with the splendid remix by Davide Locatelli and DJ Mazay on the occasion of the 122nd birthday of the dear, glorious, immortal AC Milan. "Milan, Milan", there's not much more to say. But plenty to sing about, plenty to get excited about, plenty to make you puff up your chest.
