AC Milan fans celebrate Champions League triumph

Thursday's Italian news dailies also lauded Milan's triumph.

"And go!!!!!!!" read the front page of Gazzetta Dello Sport, each exclamation mark representing one of Milan's seven European Cup triumphs.

"Milan: Seven Beauties," ran a headline in Milan-based Corriere Della Sera.

"Inzaghi's magic night," Rome-based La Repubblica said, referring to Milan striker Filippo Inzaghi, who scored his team's goals.

"Two goals in the final is what you dream about as a kid," Inzaghi said. "Last night's were the most important of my life."

Thursday's parade ended in Milan's Piazza Del Duomo, where, a night before, similar numbers had gathered to watch the game on a giant screen.

After the final whistle Wednesday, rejoicing fans tore through the streets on foot, bicycles, mopeds and cars, shouting "Forza Milan!" and "Champions of Europe!"

Drivers honked their horns, while rock band Queen's victory anthem, "We Are The Champions" could be heard on car stereos.

The celebrations will continue into the weekend with Milan having announced a party at San Siro stadium on Friday night.
