Milan have lost their first ever UEFA Youth League Final, the youth equivalent of the Champions League, falling 3-0 to Olympiacos.

The Rossoneri had made the historic qualification thanks largely to penalty shoot-outs, which allowed them to eliminate SC Braga, Real Madrid and FC Porto in the knockout rounds.

They were unable to keep that run going, having conceded three goals in a doomed six-minute spell.

Raveyre had kept the scoreline down on Bakoulas in a poor first half, though Milan did come out fighting after the break with Diego Sia inches away from meeting a dangerous cross.

Filippo Scotti saw his strike parried, but they fell apart from the 57th minute with a nightmare spell sparked by the Stalmach handball.

Mouzakitis converted a penalty, moments later Papkanellos added a second and then Bakoulas sealed the 3-0 result with an acrobatic overhead kick.

Ignazio Abate’s men tried to get back into it, but Kevin Zeroli wasted and Sina made big saves on Sia and Simmelhack.
