  • Story Text: AC Milan players arrive at Malpensa airport proudly brandishing the Champions' League trophy.
    AC Milan players arrived at Italy's Malpensa airport on Thursday afternoon (May 24) looking a little worse for wear after a night of celebration following their victory over Liverpool in the Champions League final.
    An AC Milan flag hung from the plane's window as it came to a halt at the airport with ground staff and airport workers clutching mobile phone cameras ready to give a warm welcome to the team after their 2-1 victory earnt the club their seventh European cup triumph.
    Still smiling, A.C. Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti and captain Paolo Maldini held the cup as they disembarked and the team quickly stopped to pose for photographers at the bottom of the steps.
    The players, with the cup happily occupying the front seat of the team bus, were then driven to Maranello training ground for a short rest.
    The players will tour Milan in an open top bus later on Thursday with the streets expected to be packed with fans.
