Kaka gets Milan thru’

AFP, Milan
AC Milan breathed a huge sigh of relief on Tuesday after squeezing into the knockout stages of the Champions League with a narrow 32 victory over Schalke 04 at the San Siro.
A loss to the Germans could have seen the Italian giants crash out, but a double from Kaka after Andrea Pirlo had opened the scoring gave them a nervy 3-2 win over the Germans which put them through as Group E leaders.
Milan's confidence was shattered by last Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Chievo which left them eight points behind Juventus in Serie A.
And anxiety got the better of their normally unruffled captain Paolo Maldini who almost handed Schalke the lead in the 27th minute.
In trying to play the ball out of defence, he succeeded only in gifting possession to Hamit Altintop who raced clear before firing narrowly wide of Nelson Dida's goal.
Maldini injured himself trying to catch Altintop and was replaced by Dario Simic.
Milan made the breakthrough in the 42 minute after Kaka was brought down 25 yards from goal.
Pirlo took the resulting free-kick and curled a sublime right-footed shot past Frank Rost and into the top corner.
However, the home side's celebrations were cut short as Schalke restored parity a minute before halftime.
Brazilian Lincoln curled a freekick to the back post from the left wing and Poulsen sneaked in behind the Milan defence to plant a downward header past Dida.
Milan refused to be rattled and they restored their advantage seven minutes after the restart.
Andriy Shevchenko rode three tackles before laying the ball off to his right and Kaka drove a rightfooted shot into the bottom corner from an acute angle.
Milan pulled further ahead on the hour, picking up the pieces after Shevchenko had miscued his shot to lash a low drive past Rost.
Lincoln revived Schalke's hopes six minutes later when his shot from the edge of the box took a wicked deflection off Shevchenko's shins and sent Dida the wrong way.
Milan had to endure several scares but they held on to their slender lead with some dogged defending.
Kaka refused to take all the applause for steering Milan into the knockout stages.
"I'm just happy to have helped the team," said the 23-year-old Brazil international.
"Now we have to keep calm and maintain the same mentality. We survived a difficult group."
Dutch side PSV Eindhoven went through in second from the group after beating Fenerbahce 2-0.
The glamour game of the night was played out at Stamford Bridge where reigning champions Liverpool drew 0-0 with English Premiership titleholders Chelsea.
Both teams had already done enough to qualify with the result leaving Liverpool topping Group G.
Real Madrid's first game in the post Wanderley Luxemburgo era ended in an embarrassing 2-1 defeat to Olympiakos.
The Greeks' first win of the 2005/06 Champions League season was achieved against a weakened Spanish opposition when
Brazilian striker Rivaldo scored in the final three minutes.
Real, with second team mentor Ramon Lopez Caro in temporary charge after Luxemburgo's sacking at the weekend, took the lead when 19-year-old defender Sergio Ramos headed a Raul Bravo free-kick in the seventh minute.
Turkish defender Erol Bulut levelled in the 50th minute before Rivaldo claimed the winner.
Olympiakos' historic win meant little, however, as they finished bottom of Group F which was won by French champions Lyon, who beat Rosenberg 2-1, with Real in second.
