Barbara Berlusconi presence at Vicente Calderón's stadium cannot avoid AC Milan's defeat to Atletico Madrid

Tuesday, 11 March 2014. As her father is not allowed to travel abroad, Barbara Berlusconi joined the AC Milan team in Madrid, only to see them heavily defeated by Atletico (4-1).

As you might already know, Silvio Berlusconi's passport has been confiscated by the Italian authorities (as he was convicted for tax fraud, in August last year), so he cannot follow his team – AC Milan – when the football team's away games are to be played outside the borders of Italy (as well as he cannot join his fellow European Popular Party's members on their gatherings around Europe).

Barbara Berlusconi tends to get excited by football matches

So as her father was not able to travel to Spain, Barbara Berlusconi was in charge and represented the family (apropos, did you know that her parents finally divorced, last month?) and management of the uber-decorated team at the Vicente Calderón Stadium, when Atletico Madrid resoundingly slapped the rossoneri and consequently eliminated the Italian side from the Champions League by winning the game 4-1.


Barbara must be pretty upset by the result, since she was one of the major architects of the ousting of former head coach Massimiliano Allegri and the taking aboard of ex-player Clarence Seedorf, as the new manager of the team.

The Dutch (Seedorf played 87 games with the Netherlands' National team, apart from his long career with the team owned by Silvio Berlusconi) have had a quite poor spell with the AC Milan, so far.

AC Milan is now out of the Campions League as well as they are out of the Italian Cup, another fresh rankling defeat.

will they ever laugh again together?

Among the numerous gone-wrong-items the performance of the former star of the Milan's side, Kakà, who has collected zero goals and zero assists since 14 January 2014, when Seedorf took charge of the players.

In the Italian Serie A Milan's position is not rosier, they are 8 points away from clinching the fifth place on the table, result that would allow them to play the Europa League, a very poor result (if reached at all!) for one of the most successful football side of the world.

Barbara Berlusconi might get a bit of a reproach from daddy, who mustn't have been delighted by the news coming from Madrid...
