In that case - AC Milan shouldn't have even been in the competition in the first place, previous season before that they were 20 odd points off top spot.
When Liverpool won the Champions League in 2005, they finished 5th, 37 points off the Premiership winners Chelsea. When AC Milan did it in 2007, they finished 4th, 36 points off Serie A winners Inter Milan... so, if they finish anywhere but first in their domestic league (Let alone being some 40 odd points off it), how can they rightly claim to be European Champions... you savvy?
Put it into a bit of perspective, the previous season before they both won their trophies, Liverpool finished 4th in 03/04 and AC Milan finished 3rd in 05/06... sorry, but if the trophy was true to it's title, they shouldn't have been anywhere near it.
