BARCELONA - Vice President and Delegate Administrator of Milan Adriano Galliani was in Barcelona tonight to receive the Fair Play prize which has been assigned to Milan during the sixtieth edition of the 'Great Gala of Sports' organized by the Spanish daily 'El Mundo Deportivo'.
The ceremony for the award was held, starting from 20.00, inside the Palace of Congress of Barcelona and rewarded the best athletes and Spanish and Catalan sportspeople in all disciplines, as well as presenting a few symbolic homages like the one for Milan.
Adriano Galliani received the award assigned to A.C. Milan for the attitude held during the European Supercup final on 31 August 2007 in Montecarlo (Milan-Sevilla 3-1) when the Spanish club had to cope with the premature of the player Antonio Puerta.
Milan dedicated their victory to Antonio and for the occasion the rossoneri went on the pitch with the name 'Puerta' on their shirts.
Among the memories of that day was the gesture of Clarence Seedorf who left the pitch showing the name of Puerta and beating his chest, the one of Kaká who pointed to Puerta's name after scoring his goal, and the one of the rossoneri fans who displayed a banner in honor of Antonio on the stands.
A few days after winning the European Supercup, also Uefa recognised the fair play shown by Milan during the game against Sevilla. In fact, Uefa President Michel Platini sent a complimentary fax to Via Turati on 3 September 2007 aimed at Adriano Galliani.
