Milan salvage draw at Ajax

Amsterdam - Ajax Amsterdam old boys Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Clarence Seedorf combined to help AC Milan salvage a 1-1 draw at their former side in a frenetic Champions League Group G encounter on Tuesday.

Forward Mounir El Hamdaoui put the hosts ahead on 23 minutes when Uruguay World Cup striker Luis Suarez showed great skill to ghost past Alessandro Nesta and square the ball for his team mate to thump home.

Milan levelled on 37 minutes when Seedorf found Ibrahimovic and the tall Swede controlled superbly before smashing an awkwardly bouncing ball into the net from close range despite Ajax appeals for offside.

Former Inter Milan striker Ibrahimovic, who signed for Milan from Barcelona on an initial loan in August, has now scored five goals for his new side including his brace in the 2-0 win at home to Auxerre in their group opener.

No! I think the smart thing to do is start again with a younger skipper ...

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
