The Rossoneri's campaign in the 1999 championship, which culminated in the scudetto win under the guidance of Zaccheroni; the season recounted by the man who played a lead-role: Maurizio Ganz.

The footballing history between AC Milan and Liverpool is something quite unique that doesn’t follow any script. There is never a dull moment in these games that are impossible to predict and which always keep us on the edge of our seats. Past games tell of this story and the present repeats it with the Rossoneri coming up against the Reds in their historic return to the Champions League.

From the bench onto the pitch in the blink of an eye, Tătăruşanu was ready just like that. Like so many of those who were once in his shoes, as second-string keeper, he was called up without warning to start between the sticks. In addition to this was the unspoken task of needing to put on a good performance and exceed expectation, something which he did, with that save from Lautaro's penalty in the derby della Madonnina.

Cafu’s unique and extraordinary play didn’t give to AC Milan only breakthroughs the wing, crosses and lobs. The Brazilian Pendolino, thanks to his iconic smile, brought to the pitch contagious positive vibes for his teammates and fans.

AC Milan star Franco Baresi, from his nickname recalling Beckenbauer until the legend was born, passed the test of times over decades and generations, earning the moniker “poet of football pitches”.

Just like any magnum opus, Giroud's career has not been easy or built overnight. It has taken time, dedication and a thick skin. Step by step, from Grenoble to the French national team, from the North London derby to the Milan derby.

In addition to his sporting prestige, what distinguishes Mr Pioli are his values, his style dictated by loyalty, fairness and integrity. It was precisely these qualities that led him to winning the Liedholm Award, which places Stefano Pioli in the history books alongside some of the great Milanese sportsmen who have already won the award in memory of the 'Barone'.

Love for the city, as well as for the Rossoneri shirt: experiencing Milan is a matter that goes beyond football. There are so many places in Milan that tell the story of the club's history which has stretched over more than 100 years.

The long lockdown months brought big changes to the world of football too. Fans were unable to attend, as a result of which empty stadiums and deafending silences became the new normal. Now, the energy of the crowd has returned, with the fans' irreplaceable enthusiasm ensuring that stadiums are rocking once again.

From the moment Federico Giunti was called upon to take control of Milan's Primavera, he has carried out his task with dedication and great care, even in the darkest moments – like the relegation suffered in May 2019 – he was able to lead the squad back into the light.
