Gilardino went into tonight's game at the Stadio Olimpico with his confidence at rock-bottom. He had not scored a single goal all season and had even been booed and jeered by his own supporters during the recent home games against Benfica and Fiorentina.
However Gila was given the nod to start ahead of Filippo Inzaghi and silenced his critics with two goals. The second-strike was particularly impressive, a stunning first-time volley into the top-corner of the net.
"Tonight we showed that we are not the team that many have recently tried to paint us as," said Gilardino in response to those that have said that Milan are a spent force in Serie A. "We want to do well, both in the Championship and in the Champions League."
"As for me personally, I just want to try and do well until the end of the season and try and make it to the European Championships.
"People have been saying alot about how I have not scored a goal for six months but it is difficult to score during the summer when the season is over and you are on holiday."
