Guerin Sportivo: a century of Milan in print

Founded in Turin in 1912 and named for the medieval knight of the romance 'Il Guerrin Meschino', Guerin Sportivo is among the oldest sports magazines in the world. The satirical caricature was its signature: covers that turned footballers and coaches into affectionately exaggerated cartoons long before television close-ups existed — half homage, half gentle mockery. Across the decades its pen-and-ink artists both lampooned and lionised Milan's protagonists, from the granite jaw of Nereo Rocco to the boyish elegance of Gianni Rivera, while its long-form reportage chronicled every age of the club from the Gre-No-Li to the Sacchi revolution. Irreverent and polemical, the weekly's wit was a counterpoint to the reverent match reports — an ironic gallery in which the rossoneri's heroes were immortalised with a smile, and a deep running commentary on Italian football: an archive against which the rossonero legend was written and argued.

1911-12: Best of the rest behind Pro Vercelli

In a championship split into two groups, Milan finished runners-up in the north-western section behind Pro Vercelli, who went on to beat Venezia for yet another national title. Van Hege's goals kept Milan among the strongest of the chasers, but the gap to the Piedmontese champions remained a chasm.
