RUSSIA: European champions Milan hold training session in Moscow where they are taking part in the Russian Railways Cup

Milan train ahead of their Russian Railways Cup third place playoff against Lokomotiv Moscow. Milan trained on Saturday (August 4) ahead of Sunday's third place play off against Lokomotiv Moscow in the tournament funded by the Russian club, which is partly owned by the Russian railway system. The European champions were surprisingly beaten by PSV 4-3 on penalties on Friday (August 3) and missed the chance to meet Real Madrid, who are now facing the Dutch side in the final. Led by Brazilian playmaker Kaka, Milan won the Champions League, defeating Liverpool 2-1 in the final in May in Athens. PSV Eindhoven beat Milan on penalties after a 0-0 draw in the first semi-final of the Russian Railways Cup. Milan's Brazilian goalkeeper Dida made an impressive diving save from Timmy Simmons's low shot to his left from the opening penalty of the shootout in a match that did no have extra time. Dida's compatriot Gomes levelled the score at 3-3 when he saved Milan's fourth spot kick and PSV went through to Sunday's final when Dutch midfielder Clarence Seedorf hit the bar with the Italians' fifth.
