Same principle as the alternate political leaders threads: we collaboratively list successive football matches in a tournament or competition. Each of us will describe a match in basic detail, which will form part of an AH sequence. Simpler than it sounds, but not sure if this'll take off.
Few ground rules based on observations of how the previous threads have run:
- Although it's good to be as creative as poss and let rip with the butterflies, people should be realistic too: Northwich Victoria or SPAL are not going to be winning the Champions League in 1996 with a 1993 POD, for instance.
- Autowanking your team to win the world cup or CL with all of two sentences is not the prefered contribution. Bear in mind also other people's prior entries. (This is the absolute bane of DBWI threads)
- No more than two ATLs running at the same time. Otherwise we have massive text walls which render everything illegible and sclerotic.
Anyway, without further ado, to kick us off: (The next person details the '94 final, and then the next person the '95 final, and so on)
Alternate Champions League Finals (Milan wins in '93)
1993 UEFA Champions League Final (Olympiastadion, Munich)
AC Milan 3 - 1 Olympique de Marseille
Milan had dominated on their way to first Champions League final to face Bernard Tapie's Marseille, who had themselves dominated Lique One over recent years. Milan under Fabio Capello were favoured going into the final, despite Marco van Basten only recently recovering from injury.
Milan dominated the first half, going into the lead in the seventienth minute when Massaro chipped in from a Milan corner. However, AC failed to extend their lead and the game was 1-0 at half time.
Abedi Pele hit in a curling free kick on fifty-six minutes, after a controversial decision from referee Kurt Rothlisberger. Rothlisberger would go on to award Marseille a controversial penalty, and a strong chance for Marseille to win the game, on seventy-four minutes when Baresi was adjuged to have fouled Boksic in the box. However, Boksic's resulting kick was saved by Rossi. Massaro and Papin would go on to put two past a visibly dispirited Marseille, and the Rossoneri finished the match 3-1 winners.
(Milan: Massaro, 17', 78', Papin, 83'. Marseille: Pele, 56', Boksic missed penalty '74.)
