La Storia
The great eras
The founding
Englishman Herbert Kilpin and Alfred Edwards found the Milan Foot-Ball and Cricket Club. Kilpin picks red and black: red for the devils they’ll play like, black for the fear they’ll strike.
The Gre-No-Li golden age
The Swedish trio Gren, Nordahl and Liedholm light up San Siro. Gunnar Nordahl becomes the greatest goalscorer in club history.
Kings of Europe
Milan become the first Italian club to win the European Cup, beating Benfica at Wembley — the dawn of a European dynasty in the age of Gianni Rivera, the “Golden Boy”.
Sacchi’s Immortals
Arrigo Sacchi and the Dutch trio — Gullit, Van Basten, Rijkaard — revolutionise football and win back-to-back European Cups. Widely called the greatest club side ever.
Capello’s Invincibles
Fabio Capello’s Milan go 58 league games unbeaten and dismantle Barcelona 4–0 in the 1994 final — defensive artistry led by Baresi and Maldini.
Ancelotti’s champions
Kaká, Shevchenko, Pirlo, Maldini and Nesta win two more European Cups. After the heartbreak of Istanbul 2005 comes redemption in Athens 2007.
The revival
Under Stefano Pioli, a young rossonero side wins the Scudetto — Milan’s 19th — with Rafael Leão named Serie A MVP. The Diavolo is back.
Le Leggende
The legends
La Scala del Calcio
The San Siro
Milan play at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza — the San Siro — a 75,000-seat cathedral of Italian football shared with city rivals Internazionale. On derby and European nights, the Curva Sud, home of Milan’s ultras, turns it into a wall of red-and-black colour and song. There is no sound in football quite like San Siro roaring for il Diavolo.
