late 2000s

Alessandro Nesta, the 'difensore elegante' Italians ranked with Baresi

Alessandro Nesta, the 'difensore elegante' Italians ranked with Baresi

Italian sources praised Alessandro Nesta as the purest 'difensore elegante' (elegant defender) of his generation, a marker who tackled so cleanly the Gazzetta spoke of interventions 'in punta di piedi' (on tiptoe). Where others resorted to fouls, Nesta anticipated, timing his challenges with an aristocratic calm that Italian writers openly compared to Franco Baresi. Together with Maldini he formed a rearguard the Italian press revered as almost impassable in Milan's 2007 Champions League run.

13 January 2008

Pato scores on his Serie A debut

When the window finally opened, so did the scoring account. Handed his league debut against Napoli at San Siro on 13 January 2008, the 18-year-old Pato scored in a 5-2 rossoneri victory, and Italy swooned over the fastest thing Milanello had seen in years. Within two years he would be voted European football's Golden Boy, and his partnership with Kaka briefly promised a Brazilian decade at San Siro.

Serie A 2007-08

2007-08: Champions of the world, but no Champions League

Milan opened by beating Sevilla 3-1 in the UEFA Super Cup and in December defeated Boca Juniors 4-2 in Yokohama to win the club's first FIFA Club World Cup, with Ballon d'Or winner Kaká at his imperious peak. Domestically, however, an ageing squad slipped to fifth in Serie A and missed Champions League qualification for the first time in years, while the European defence ended against Arsenal in the round of 16. Teenager Alexandre Pato, signed the previous summer but eligible only from January, offered a glimpse of the future.

2005–2008

The Curva Sud Milano Carries the Flame

After the Fossa dei Leoni disbanded in 2005, the surviving groups of Milan's home end regrouped under the single banner of the Curva Sud Milano, which to this day leads the singing, the tifo and the great matchday mosaics at San Siro. It opened a new chapter in a tradition of organised support that has always run in parallel to the official Milan Clubs of the AIMC. Two strands of one tifoseria: the ordered ranks of the club movement and the roaring heart of the curva. The chronology deserves precision: the Fossa dei Leoni dissolved on 17 November 2005, former members founded the interim Guerrieri Ultras Curva Sud Milano on 31 December 2005, and the full regrouping of the curva under the single Curva Sud Milano banner was completed in 2008.

Ronaldinho: A Ballon d'Or from Barcelona

Ronaldinho: A Ballon d'Or from Barcelona

In July 2008 Milan captured Ronaldinho from Barcelona for an initial 21 million euros rising with add-ons, tempting the two-time FIFA World Player of the Year to San Siro just as Barcelona pivoted to the young Lionel Messi. Wearing his trademark No. 80, the Brazilian conjured flashes of the old magic even as his finest years lay behind him. It was a marquee gamble of the late-Ancelotti era.

28 September 2008

Ronaldinho settles his first derby

Signed to restore stardust, Ronaldinho delivered it where it mattered most: in his first Derby della Madonnina, on 28 September 2008, his goal decided a 1-0 win over Jose Mourinho's Inter. San Siro glowed red and black at the sight of the Brazilian's famous grin turned against the old enemy. Inter would still take the scudetto that spring, but for one autumn evening the city belonged entirely to the number 80.

Galaxy to Galliani: the Beckham Loan Stuns Football

Galaxy to Galliani: the Beckham Loan Stuns Football

In a coup almost nobody saw coming, Milan and the LA Galaxy announced that David Beckham, 33, would join the rossoneri on loan in January 2009 once the MLS season closed. Adriano Galliani had quietly courted the England midfielder, who framed the move as a fitness mission to protect his international place under Fabio Capello — though it would soon become something closer to a love affair. On his unveiling in Milan, he found his cherished 23 already on Massimo Ambrosini's back, so he simply flipped the digits and pulled on number 32.
