Current season

Milan has spent its entire history in Serie A with the exception of the 1980–81 and 1982–83 seasons.[11][12]Silvio Berlusconi’s 31-year tenure as Milan president was a standout period in the club's history, as they established themselves as one of Europe's most dominant and successful clubs. Milan won 29 trophies during his tenure, securing multiple Serie A andUEFA Champions Leaguetitles. During the1991–92 season,the club notably achieved the feat of being the first team to win the Serie A title without losing a single game.[13]Milan is home to multipleBallon d'Orwinners, and three of the club's players,Marco van Basten,Ruud Gullit,andFrank Rijkaard,were ranked in the top three on the podium for the1988 Ballon d'Or,an unprecedented achievement in the history of the prize.[14]

Domestically, Milan has won 19league titles,[15]5Coppa Italiatitles and 7Supercoppa Italianatitles.[16]In international competitions, Milan is Italy's most successful club.[nb 1][16][17][18][19]The club has won seven European Cup/Champions League titles, making them the competition's second-most successful team behindReal Madrid,and further honours include fiveUEFA Super Cups,twoUEFA Cup Winners' Cups,a joint record[nb 2]twoLatin Cups,a joint record[nb 3]threeIntercontinental Cupsand oneFIFA Club World Cup.[16]

Milan is one of the wealthiest clubs in Italian and world football.[20]It was a founding member of the now-defunctG-14group of Europe's leading football clubs as well as its replacement, theEuropean Club Association.[21]

History

Foundation and early years (1899–1950)

"Saremo una squadra di diavoli. I nostri colori saranno il rosso come il fuoco e il nero come la paura che incuteremo agli avversari."

— 1899, Herbert Kilpin[22][23]

"We will be a team of devils. Our colours will be red like fire and black like the fear we will invoke in our opponents."

— 1899, Herbert Kilpin

AC Milan was founded as Milan Foot-Ball andCricketClub in 1899 by English expatriateHerbert Kilpin.[12]The club claims 16 December of that year as their foundation date,[24]but historical evidence seems to suggest that the club was actually founded a few days earlier, most likely on 13 December.[2]However, with the club's charter being lost, the exact date remains open to debate.

In honour of its English origins, the club has retained the English spelling of the city's name, as opposed to the Italian spelling Milano, which it was forced to bear under thefascist regime.Milan won its first Italian championship in1901,interrupting a three-year hegemony ofGenoa,and a further two in succession in1906and1907.[11]The club proved successful in the first decade of its existence, with several important trophies won, including, among others, theMedaglia del Rethree times,[25]thePalla Dapples23 times[26]and theFGNI tournamentfive times, a competition organized by theItalian Gymnastics Federationbut not officially recognized by theItalian Football Federation.[27]

In 1908, Milan experienced a split caused by internal disagreements over the signing of foreign players, which led to the forming of another Milan-based team,F.C. Internazionale.[28]Following these events, Milan did not manage to win a single domestic title until1950–51,[16]with some exceptions represented by the 1915–16Coppa Federale[29]and the 1917–18Coppa Mauro,[30]two tournaments played during theFirst World Warwhich, especially the former, received a lot of attention and proved to be highly competitive, despite them not being officially recognized by the Italian federation.

Return to victory and international affirmation (1950–1970)

The 1950s saw the club return to the top of Italian football, headed by the famousGre-No-LiSwedishtrioGunnar Gren,Gunnar NordahlandNils Liedholm.This was one of the club's most successful periods domestically, with theScudettogoing to Milan in1951,1955,1957and1959.[16]This decade witnessed also the first European successes of Milan, with the1951and1956Latin Cuptriumphs againstLilleandAthletic Bilbao.Milan was also the first Italian club to take part to the newly bornEuropean Cupin the1955–56season, and reached the finaltwo years later,when they were defeated byReal Madrid.

The 1960s began with the debut of Milan's legendGianni Riverain 1960:[31]he would remain with the club for the rest of his career for the following 19 seasons. In 1961,Nereo Roccowas appointed as new coach of the club,[32]which under his leadership won immediately a scudetto in1961–62,followed, in the next season, by Milan's firstEuropean Cuptriumph, achieved after beatingBenficain thefinal.[33][34]This success was repeated in1969,with a 4–1 win overAjaxinthe final,which was followed by theIntercontinental Cuptitle the same year.[16]During this period Milan also won itsninth scudetto,its firstCoppa Italia,with victory overPadovain the 1967 final, and twoEuropean Cup Winners' Cupsin1967–68and1972–73, after defeating in the last matchHamburgandLeeds Unitedrespectively.[16]

10thScudettoand decline (1970–1986)

Franco Baresiin 1979

Domestically, the 1970s were characterized by the pursuit of the 10th Serie A title, which grants the winner theScudettostar. For three years in a row, in1971,1972and1973,Milan ended up second in the league, after some memorable duels with Inter and Juventus. Finally, the achievement was reached in1979.The same year saw the retirement ofGianni Riveraand the debut ofFranco Baresi,at his first full season with the club.

After this success, the team went into a period of decline. The club in1980was involved in theTotonero scandaland as punishment wasrelegatedtoSerie Bfor the first time in its history.[35]The scandal was centred around a betting syndicate paying players and officials to fix the outcome of matches.[35]Milan achieved promotion back toSerie Aat the first attempt, winning the1980–81 Serie Btitle,[16]but were again relegated a year later as the team ended its1981–82campaign in third-last place. In1983,Milan won the Serie B title for the second time in three seasons to return to Serie A,[16]where they achieved a sixth-place finish in1983–84.

Berlusconi's ownership and international glory (1986–2012)

On 20 February 1986, entrepreneurSilvio Berlusconi(who ownedFininvestandMediaset) acquired the club and saved it from bankruptcy after investing vast amounts of money,[11]appointing rising managerArrigo Sacchiat the helm of theRossoneriand signingDutchinternationalsRuud Gullit,Marco van BastenandFrank Rijkaard.[11]The Dutch trio added an attacking impetus to the team, and complemented the club'sItalianinternationalsPaolo Maldini,Franco Baresi,Alessandro CostacurtaandRoberto Donadoni.Under Sacchi, Milan won its first Scudetto in nine years in the1987–88 season.The following year, the club won its firstEuropean Cupin two decades, beating Romanian clubSteaua București4–0 inthe final.Milan retained their title with a1–0 winover Benfica a year later and was the last team to win back-to-backEuropean Cupsuntil Real Madrid'swin in 2017.[36]The Milan team of 1988–1990, nicknamed the "Immortals" in the Italian media,[37]has been voted the best club side of all time in a global poll of experts conducted byWorld Soccermagazine.[38]

After Sacchi left Milan in 1991, he was replaced by the club's former playerFabio Capellowhose team won three consecutiveSerie A titlesbetween1992and1994,a spell which included a 58-match unbeaten run in Serie A (which earned the team the label "the Invincibles" ),[37][39][40]and back-to-backUEFA Champions Leaguefinal appearances in1993,1994and1995.A year after losing 1–0 toMarseillein the1993 Champions League final,Capello's team reached its peak in one of Milan's most memorable matches of all time, the famous 4–0 win overBarcelonain the1994 Champions League final.[39]Capello's side went on to win the1995–96league title before he left to manage Real Madrid in 1996.[39]In1998–99,after a two-year period of decline, Milan lifted its 16th championship in the club'scentenary season.

Milan's next period of success came under another former player,Carlo Ancelotti.After his appointment in November 2001, Ancelotti took Milan to the2003 Champions League final,where they defeatedJuventusonpenaltiesto win the club's sixth European Cup.[41]The team then won the Scudetto in2003–04before reaching the2005 Champions League final,where they were beaten byLiverpoolon penalties despite leading 3–0 at half-time.[41]Two years later, the two teams met again in the2007 Champions League final,with Milan winning 2–1 to lift the title for a seventh time.[41][42]The team then won its firstFIFA Club World Cupin December 2007.[43]In 2009, after becoming Milan's second longest serving manager with 420 matches overseen,[43]Ancelotti left the club to take over as manager atChelsea.

During this period, the club was involved in theCalciopoliscandal, where five teams were accused of fi xing matches by selecting favourable referees.[44]A police inquiry excluded any involvement of Milan managers;[45]theItalian Football Federation(FIGC) unilaterally decided that it had sufficient evidence to charge Milan vice-presidentAdriano Galliani.As a result, Milan was initially punished with a 15-point deduction and was banned from the2006–07 UEFA Champions League.An appeal saw that penalty reduced to eight points,[46]which allowed the club to retain its Champions League participation.

Following the aftermath of Calciopoli,local rivalsInternazionale dominated Serie A, winning fourScudetti.However, with the help a strong squad boasting players such asZlatan Ibrahimović,RobinhoandAlexandre Patojoining many of the veterans of the club's mid-decade European successes, Milan recaptured the Scudetto in the2010–11 Serie A season,their first since the2003–04 seasonand 18th overall.[47][48]

After their 18th Scudetto, the club declined in performance. Milan failed to qualify to European competitions for a few years, and the only trophy won was the2016 Supercoppa Italiana,achieved underVincenzo Montella's coaching after defeating Juventus in the penalty shoot-out.[citation needed]

On 5 August 2016, a new preliminary agreement was signed with the Chinese investment management company Sino-Europe Sports Investment Management Chang xing Co., to which Fininvest sold a 99.93% stake of Milan for about €520 million, plus the refurbishment of the club financial debt of €220 million.[49]On 13 April 2017, the deal was completed and Rossoneri Sport Investment Lux became the new direct parent company of the club.[50]In order to finalise the deal, American hedge fundElliott Management Corporationprovided Li with a loan of €303 million (€180 million to complete the payment to Fininvest and €123 million issued directly to the club).[51][52]On 10 July 2018, Li failed to keep up with his loan repayment plan, neglecting to deposit a €32 million instalment on time in order to refinance the €303 million loan debt owed to the American hedge fund. As a result, In July 2018, chairmanLi Yonghong's investment vehicle Rossoneri Champion Inv. Lux. was removed as the shareholder of Rossoneri Sport Inv. Lux., the direct parent company of the club, making the investment vehicle majority controlled by Elliott Management Corporation the sole shareholder of Rossoneri Sport Inv. Lux.[53][54][55][56]

On 27 November 2017, Montella was sacked due to poor results and replaced by former playerGennaro Gattuso.[57]Milan qualified for the2018–19 UEFA Europa Leaguegroup stage after finishing 6th in the2017–18 Serie Aseason, but were banned by UEFA from European competition due to violations ofFinancial Fair Playregulations for failure to break-even.[58]Milan appealed to theCourt of Arbitration for Sportand the decision was overturned on 20 July 2018.[59][60][61]

In Gattuso's first full season in charge, Milan exceeded expectations and spent much of the campaign in the top 4. Despite winning their final 4 games, Milan missed out on the Champions League by one point.[62]After Milan's failure to qualify for the Champions League, Gattuso resigned as manager.[63]On 19 June 2019, Milan hired former Sampdoria managerMarco Giampaoloon a 2-year contract. On 28 June 2019, Milan was excluded from the2019–20 UEFA Europa Leaguefor violating Financial Fair Play regulations for the years 2014–2017 and 2015–2018.[64]

After four months in charge, Giampaolo was sacked after losing four of his first seven games, which was exacerbated by poor performances and a lack of supporter confidence.Stefano Pioliwas hired as his replacement.[65]After the restart of the Serie A campaign due to theCOVID-19outbreak, Milan went on a 10 match unbeaten streak, winning 7 in the process including matches against Juventus, Lazio and Roma. This streak led to Milan abandoning their plans of hiringRalf Rangnickas their new manager and sporting director, and instead extended Pioli's contract for a further 2 years.[66]Following a stellar start in the2020–21 Serie A,which was a continuation of the second half of the previous season, Milan under Pioli in his first full season were led to a second-place finish in the league which was the highest finish for the team since the2011–12 Serie A.This result allowed Milan to qualify for the2021–22 UEFA Champions Leaguefor the following season, which would become their first appearance in theUEFA Champions Leaguein seven years since their last appearance in the2013–14 UEFA Champions League.

Milan secured their 19th Italian championship title on the last round of the2021–22 season,with aclub-recordtally of 86 points. It was their first league title since the2010–11 season.In theSerie A Awards,Rafael Leãowas named as the league'smost valuable player,Mike Maignanas the best goalkeeper, and Pioli as coach of the season.[67][68][69]On 1 June 2022, RedBird Capital Partners agreed to acquire AC Milan at $1.3 billion, meanwhile Elliott Management Corporation would keep a minority stake.[70]After five seasons with Milan, Pioli stepped down at the end of2023–24 seasonandPaulo Fonsecawas named as his replacement.[71]

Colours and badge

Coat of armsof the city of Milan – has been the club badge worn on match kits from the origins to the mid-1940s

Red and black are the colours which have represented the club throughout its entire history. They were chosen by its founderHerbert Kilpinto represent the players' fiery ardor (red) and the opponents' fear to challenge the team (black).Rossoneri,the team's widely used nickname, literally means "the red & blacks" in Italian, in reference to the colours of the stripes on its jersey.[72]

Another nickname derived from the club's colours isthe Devil.An image of a red devil was used as Milan's logo at one point with aGolden Star for Sport Excellencelocated next to it.[73]As is customary in Italian football, the star above the logo was awarded to the club after winning 10 league titles, in 1979. The official Milan logos have always displayed theFlag of Milan,which was originally the flag ofSaint Ambrose,[73]next to red and black stripes. The modern badge used today represents the club colours and the flag of theComunediMilano,with the acronymACMat the top and the foundation year (1899) at the bottom.[73]For what concerns the badge worn on match kits, from the origins to the mid-1940s it was simply the flag of Milan. For many decades no club logo was displayed, with the exception of the devil's logo in the early 1980s. The club badge made its definitive appearance on the match strips in the 1995–96, in a form that remained basically unchanged until present days.

Since its foundation, the AC Milan home kit consisted of a red and black striped shirt, combined with white shorts and black socks; over the course of the decades, only cyclical changes dictated by the fashions of the time affected this pattern, which remained almost unchanged up to present days. In the first decade of the 20th century, the Rossoneri's first kit was a simple silk shirt characterized by thin stripes, with the badge of the city of Milan sewn at heart level. From the 1910s, the stripes were enlarged following a pattern that would remain unchanged until the late 1950s. The 1960s marked a return to the origins, with the use of thin stripes. This style would last until the 1985–86 season, with a small intermezzo from 1980 to 1982, when the stripes changed to a middle size again. A notable innovation occurred in this period. Between the 1979–80 and 1980–81 seasons, the AC Milan shirt achieved an important record by adding the surnames of the players above the number for the first time in Italian football.[74]

From the 1986–87 season, under the impulse of the new club ownerSilvio Berlusconi,the stripes were brought back to a middle size, and the colour of the socks was changed to white, taking the same colour of the shorts. In such a way, Berlusconi aimed at giving the players a more elegant look, as well as making the kit more distinguishablyred and blackwhen watched on the television compared to the thin striped kit, which, at a distance and on the television, could mistaken for a full red or brown shirt.[75]This style continued until 1998. Starting from the 1998–99 season, the kits started to be modified on a yearly basis in their design.

Milan's away kit has always been completely white, sometimes adorned with various types of decorations, the most common of which are one vertical or horizontal red and black stripe.[76]The white away kit is considered by both the fans and the club to be a lucky strip in Champions League finals, due to the fact that Milan has won six finals out of eight in an all white strip (losing only toAjaxin 1995 andLiverpoolin 2005), and only won one out of three in the home strip. The third strip, which is rarely used, changes yearly, being mostly black with red trimmings.

"I can't think of many shirts out there that are as recognisable as Milan's. – Our kits go beyond just the sphere of football."

— In an interview with SoccerBible, Milan playerGianluca Lapadulacomplimented the iconic design ofRossoneri.[77]

Stadiums

Curva Sudof the San Siro

Milan played their first matches at theTrotterpitch, located where theMilan Central railway stationwould later be built. It could not be defined as a stadium, as there were no dressing rooms, no stands and no other facilities. In 1903, Milan moved to theAcquabellapitch, where the stands consisted of a section of ground raised for the purpose. Milan played there until 1905. The following year the club moved to thePorta Monfortepitch, where they played until 1914. The stadium was furnished with a ticket office and wooden stands. In the following years Milan played at theVelodromo Sempionefrom 1914 to 1920, and at theViale Lombardiastadium from 1920 to 1926. The latter was a modern structure, with a big main stand and which hosted several games of theItaly national football team.[85]

In 1926 Milan moved to the stadium where they still play nowadays: TheSan Siro. The stadium,[9]officially known as Stadio Giuseppe Meazza after theformer playerwho represented both Milan andInternazionale,has 75,923 seats. The more commonly used name, "San Siro", is the name of the district where it is located. San Siro was privately built by funding from Milan's president at the time,Piero Pirelli.Construction was performed by 120 workers, and took13+12months to complete. The stadium was owned by the club until it was sold to the city in 1935, and since 1947 it has been shared with Internazionale when the other major Milanese club was accepted as joint tenant.

The first game played at the stadium was on 19 September 1926, when Milan lost 6–3 in a friendly match against Internazionale. Milan played its first league game in San Siro on 19 September 1926, losing 1–2 toSampierdarenese.From an initial capacity of 35,000 spectators, the stadium has undergone several major renovations, most recently in preparation for the1990 FIFA World Cupwhen its capacity was set to 85,700, all covered with a polycarbonate roof. In the summer of 2008 its capacity was reduced to 80,018, to meet the new standards set byUEFA.

Based on the English model for stadiums, San Siro is specifically designed for football matches, as opposed to many multi-purpose stadiums used in Serie A. It is therefore renowned in Italy for its fantastic atmosphere during matches, largely thanks to the closeness of the stands to the pitch. The frequent use offlaresby supporters contributes to the atmosphere but the practice has occasionally caused problems.

On 19 December 2005, Milan vice-president and executive directorAdriano Gallianiannounced that the club was seriously working towards a relocation. He stated Milan's new stadium will be largely based on theVeltins-Arena– the home ofSchalke 04inGelsenkirchen– and will follow the standards of football stadiums in the United States, Germany and Spain. As opposed to many other stadiums in Italy, Milan's new stadium would likely be used for football only, having no athletics track. On 11 December 2014, Barbara Berlusconi announced a proposal to build a property stadium of 42,000 seats inPortello,behind the new HQ of the Rossoneri, and the large square "Piazza Gino Valle". The new village with shopping malls and hotel is located nearCityLifedistrict and is served by themetro.[86]On 20 September 2015, however, Silvio Berlusconi called an end to his club's plans to build a new stadium in the city.[87]In 2017, new CEO Marco Fassone stated that the club may look at either staying in the San Siro or moving to a new stadium with the club hierarchy emphasising the need to increase average attendance for home games.[88]

On 27 September 2023, chairmanPaolo Scaroniannounced the club had filed a proposal to build a new 70,000-seater stadium, alongside the club headquarters and museum in the comune ofSan Donato Milanese,a suburb south of Milan.[89]

Supporters

Brigate Rossonere

Milan is one of the most supported football clubs in Italy, according to research conducted by Italian newspaperLa Repubblica.[90]Historically, Milan was supported by the city's working class, which granted them the nickname ofcasciavid[kaʃaˈʋiːt](which inMilanese dialectmeans "screwdrivers" ), used until the 1960s.[91]On the other hand, crosstown rivals Inter Milan were mainly supported by the more prosperous middle class.[91]The oldestultrasgroups in all of Italian football,Fossa dei Leoni,originated in Milan.[92]Currently, the main ultras group within the support base isBrigate Rossonere.[92]Milan ultras have never had any particular political preference,[92]but the media traditionally associated them with the left wing[93]until recently, when Berlusconi's presidency somewhat altered that view.[94]

According to a study from 2010, Milan is the most supported Italian team in Europe and seventh overall, with over 18.4 million fans.[95]It had the thirteenth highest average attendance of European football clubs during the 2019–20 season, behindBorussia Dortmund,Bayern Munich,Manchester United,Barcelona,Real Madrid, Inter,Schalke 04,Tottenham Hotspur,Celtic,Atlético Madrid,West Ham UnitedandArsenal.[96]

Club rivalries

Scene of a Derby della Madonnina in 1915

Milan's main rivalry is with its neighbour club,Inter Milan.Both clubs meet in the widely anticipatedDerby della Madonninatwice every Serie A season. The name of the derby refers to theBlessed Virgin Mary,whose statue atop theMilan Cathedralis one of the city's main attractions. The first match was held in the final of the Chiasso Cup of 1908, a football tournament played in Canton Ticino, Switzerland, on 18 October of that year; the Rossoneri won 2–1.[97]The rivalry reached its highest point in the 1960s, when the two clubs dominated the scene both domestically and internationally. In Italy they cumulatively won five Serie A titles, while internationally they collected four European cups. On the bench it showcased the clash of two different approaches toCatenaccioby the two managers:Nereo Roccofor Milan andHelenio Herrerafor Inter. On the pitch the stage was taken by some of the biggest stars the Italian Serie A could offer: players such asGianni Rivera,Giovanni TrapattoniandJosé Altafinifor Milan andSandro Mazzola,Giacinto FacchettiandLuis Suárezfor Inter. The match usually creates a lively atmosphere, with numerous (often humorous or offensive) banners unfolded before the start of the game.Flaresare commonly present and contribute to the spectacle but they have occasionally led to problems, including the abandonment of the second leg of the2004–05 Champions Leaguequarter-final match between Milan and Inter on 12 April 2005, after a flare thrown from the crowd by an Inter supporter struck Milan goalkeeperDidaon the shoulder.[98]

The rivalry withJuventus F.C.is a rivalry between the two most titled teams in Italy. The challenge confronts also two of the clubs with the greater basin of supporters as well as those with the greatest turnover and stock market value in the country.[99]Milan and Juventus were often fighting for the top positions of the Serie A standings. Some important periods marked by this rivalry were the early 1950s, which saw the two teams alternating each other as Serie A champions (the two clubs won seven titles in the decade), and big duels between forwards, with the SwedishGre-No-Lion therossoneriside and the trio formed byGiampiero Boniperti,John HansenandKarl Aage Præston thebianconeriside; the early 1970s, when for two consecutive seasons,1971-72and1972-73,Milan lost thescudettoto Juventus by just one point; the 1990s, when the two clubs dominated the league by winning eight (consecutive) titles out of ten, lining up players that marked the history of football in their era and in the whole history; and finally in the 2000s, when, between the2004-05and2005-06seasons, the two clubs contested each other the Serie A titles, both won by Juventus but then revoked due to theCalciopoliscandal. The only match played by the two teams in European competitions was the2003 UEFA Champions League final,the first such final between two Italian clubs, won by Milan at the penalties, which granted Milan the sixth Champions League title of their history.[100]

The rivalry withGenoastarted at the dawn of the 20th century, when the two clubs repeatedly faced each other for the Italian championship and other important trophies of the time. It then continued in the1981-82 Serie Aseason, when Genoa avoided relegation in Naples just a few minutes from the final whistle of the last game of the season condemning theRossonerito the second Serie B season of their history.

Club statistics and records

Paolo Maldinimade a record 902 appearances for Milan, including 647 inSerie A.

Paolo Maldiniholds the records for both total appearances and Serie A appearances for Milan, with 902 official games played in total and 647 in Serie A (as of 31 May 2009, not including playoff matches),[104]the latter being an all-time Serie A record.[105]

SwedishforwardGunnar Nordahlscored 38 goals in the1950–51 season,35 of which were in Serie A, setting anItalian footballand club record. He went on to become Milan's all-time top goalscorer, scoring 221 goals for the club in 268 games.[106]He is followed in second place byAndriy Shevchenkowith 175 goals in 322 games, andGianni Riverain third place, who has scored 164 goals in 658 games. Rivera is also Milan's youngest ever goalscorer, scoring in a league match against Juventus at just 17 years.

Legendary tacticianNereo Rocco,the first proponent ofcatenaccioin the country, was Milan's longest-serving manager, sitting on the bench for over nine years (in two spells) in the 1960s and early 1970s, winning the club's first European Cup triumphs. Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who purchased the club in 1986, is Milan's longest-serving president (23 years, due to a two-year vacancy between 2004 and 2006).

The first official match in which Milan participated was in theThird Federal Football Championship,the predecessor of Serie A, losing 3–0 toTorinese.Milan's largest ever victory was 13–0 againstAudax Modena,in a league match at the 1914–15 season. Its heaviest defeat was recorded in the league at the 1922–23 season, beaten 0–8 byBologna.

During the1991–92 season,the club achieved the feature of being the first team to win the Serie A title without losing a single game. Previously, onlyPerugiahad managed to go unbeaten over an entire Serie A season (1978–79), but finished second in the table. In total, Milan's unbeaten streak lasted 58 games, starting with a 0–0 draw againstParmaon 26 May 1991 and coincidentally ending with a 1–0 home loss to Parma on 21 March 1993. This is a Serie A record as well as the third-longest unbeaten run in top flight European football, coming in behindSteaua București's record of 104 unbeaten games andCeltic's 68 game unbeaten run.[13][107]

Since 2007, along withBoca Juniors,Milan has won moreFIFArecognised international club titles than any other club in the world with 18 titles.[108]They were overtaken byAl Ahly SCfromEgyptafter their2014 CAF Confederation Cupwin.[109]

The sale ofKakáto Real Madrid in 2009 broke the eight-year-oldworld football transfer recordheld byZinedine Zidane,costing the Spanish club €67 million[110](about £56 million[111]). That record, however, lasted for less than a month, broken byCristiano Ronaldo's £80 million transfer.[112]This record, however, is in terms of nominal British pound rates, not adjusted to inflation or the real value of theeuro.Madrid bought Zidane for €77.5 million in 2001,[113][114]about £46 million at that time.
