Milan, the team of the 90s.
Dream team
After several different financial troubles had caused bad times and a lack of
success, AC Milan was bought on February 20, 1986 by Silvio Berlusconi, a
Milanese enterpreneur. Berlusconi brought in a rising coach, Arrigo Sacchi, and
three Dutch players, Marco van Basten, Frank Rijkaard and Ruud Gullit, to
return the team to glory. He also signed some Italian stars: Roberto Donadoni,
Carlo Ancelotti and Giovanni Galli.
Sacchi won the 1987-88 scudetto after a great recovery over Diego Maradona's
S.S.C. Napoli. In 1988-1989, AC Milan won its third European Cup, defeating
Steaua Bucuresti 4-0 in the final, and its second Intercontinental cup against
National de Medellin (1-0, goal in the last minute of extra time). The team
repeated their triumph the following season, against Benfica (1-0), and earned
its third Intercontinental Cup in a row beating Olimpia Asunción in 1991. Their
European winning line-up was: Giovanni Galli; Mauro Tassotti, Alessandro
Costacurta, Franco Baresi, Paolo Maldini; Angelo Colombo, Frank Rijkaard, Carlo
Ancelotti, Roberto Donadoni; Ruud Gullit, Marco van Basten.
With Sacchi leaving Milan to coach the Italy national football team, Fabio
Capello was hired and under him, the Rossoneri came to be known as Gli
Invicibili ("The Invincibles") or the Dream Team. With an unprecedented
58-match run with no defeats the Invincibili team had the likes of Franco
Baresi, Alessandro Costacurta and Paolo Maldini commanding one of the best
defences in history, with Marcel Desailly and Roberto Donadoni in midfield and
Dejan Saviæeviæ, Zvonimir Boban, and Daniele Massaro playing in attack.
In addition to three consecutive scudetti (from 1992 to 1994, including the
feat of not losing a single match in the 1991/1992 season), AC Milan reached
the Champions League final for three consecutive years: in 1993 they were
defeated by Olympique de Marseille; in 1994 this match was heavily disputed for
cheating on the behalf of Marseille. It was FC Barcelona who experienced the
taste of defeat, after a famous 4-0 thrashing at the hands of the Rossoneri;
and in the 1995 finals, Milan were again defeated, this time by Ajax Amsterdam.
Then, in 1995-96, led by famous world-class players such as Roberto Baggio,
Marco Simone and George Weah, AC Milan gained their fifteenth Italian
Championship. Milan's primary line-up under Capello (1996): Sebastiano Rossi;
Christian Panucci, Alessandro Costacurta, Franco Baresi, Paolo Maldini; Roberto
Donadoni, Demetrio Albertini, Marcel Desailly; Zvonimir Boban; George Weah,
Roberto Baggio.

Tambahan lagi bung, 2 Piala Super Eropa(1989 dan 1990), 2 Piala
Interkontinental(1989 dan 1990) dan 2 Piala Super Italia(1988 dan 1992).
Jadi ketika mereka memenangi Piala Champions, mereka menyapu bersih Piala
Super Eropa dan Piala Interkontinental. Trus ketika mereka memenangi
Scudetto, mereka melanjutkannya memenangi Piala Super Italia.
