Reds former warrior Smith slams Milan

LIVERPOOL legend Tommy Smith has blasted AC Milan ahead of tonight’s Champions League final and insists the Italian giants should not even be in the competition.

The former Reds defender, who won the European Cup with the Reds 30 years ago, was renowned for pulling no punches during a glittering, if bruising 17-year career.

Milan were docked eight points when a match-fixing ring was uncovered, while they were also initially kicked out of this season’s Champions League. On appeal, Carlo Ancelotti’s men were allowed back into the competition and have gone on to the final.
