One of the greatest club teams of all time. Simple as that

I was born in 1970, and grew up here in Scotland. During the initial period of this domination by Milan, there was no cable/satellite TV, let alone internet. You would only know of this team through newspapers, radio, clips and chat on TV, and the only live games you would see, would be the European games against English opposition, or the European Cup final. The team, as you rightly say were mythical. This changed with the Champions League, with a lot more live games, on ITV at the time, as well as a highlights package every week, then a season or 2 later, Channel Four broadcasting live Serie A games, along with a fairly comprehensive highlights and round up/magazine show each week. This somewhat removed the mysticism, but i do feel honoured to have been around during this period, witnessing the latter 75% of this era on TV here in the UK. They were so fucking cool as well. The long sleeved Milan top of that era was truly revered. So stylish at the time, with the collar and long sleeve. Maldini very much personified this coolness. such a graceful, athletic, Adonis of a man, who was just so fucking good at football. I hadn't really considered Berlesconi's wider impact on the European game, and how football was consumed at the time. I guess when I talk about witnessing the latter 75% of this era, here in the UK (on terrestrial TV), i am clearly attesting to Berlesconi's immediate and clearly pioneering impact. Great Vid. This team were so revered at the time. Possibly more so than Pepe's Barcelona for fans of my vintage. For me, 2 reason's. the first i alluded to, in that there just wasn't access to watching their games during the early period, lending to this mythical aura they assumed, and secondly, there wasn't a stand out player. Yes, they were world great's, but no single player had the influence Messi had on Barcelona's period of eminence in Spanish and European Football.

as a liverpool fan THESE DAYS i enjoy this type of content way more FROM FOOTBALL ICONIC 😅😅

ac milan in the 90s and the early 2000s was such an amazing era for the club. I'm an Arsenal fan but I'll always love milan for the rich history

I miss these type of videos bring them back this is why I subscribed to the channel BRING THEM BACK

I still can't believe that my grandpa's club, Vélez Sarsfield, won their (only) Intercontinental against this almighty AC Milan in 1994, 2-0... I don't know how much English people know about Carlos Bianchi, the manager of that humble team that won against all odds the Libertadores, the Intercontinental and even demolished the biggest teams of Argentina like River Plate and especially Boca Juniors. Such manager eventually went to Boca and made them win against the Galácticos of Real Madrid (2000) and Carlo Ancelotti's Milan (2003)

Miss these kinds of videos. Like the OG days.

People talk about MSN, BBC etc as dominant trios. AC Milan had all 3 top spots on Ballon D'or with their players in 1988. I think it speaks for itself which trio is the best in history.

I remember when Italian football was the best league and every Sunday we would watch it on channel 4. Great memories

I'm an AC Milan fan since I was a kid in the 2008-09 season which saw Kaka leave and Maldini retire😢. Luckily they won Serie A in 2011, but all went downhill between 2012 and 2020. There is a small revival since they won Serie A in 2022, but nothing like what they would have been between 1988-1996, they seemed to have absolutely been the clubs that brought football into the modern age. The period between 1988-1996 and 2003-2007, the club was also really good in the UCL. A big part of this success I think lies with the support Berlusconi gave the club that was about to be bankrupt, the revolutionary tactics of Sacchi and Capello and also an all-star side with guys like Maldini, Baresi, Tassotti, Costacurta, Ancelloti, Savicevic, Rijkaard, Guulit and Van Basten. As a Milan fan, I really hope such good days come back again in my lifetime.

When I started watching the 1995 CL final between Ajax and AC Milan - I was a neutral. By the end of the game I was a Milan fan. I've been one ever since, through highs and lows.

Bro no joke I was just looking for videos about prime Milan yesterday

Gullit, Baresi..... and so on... I was glued to the tv.... and I am from Dresden, Germany.... awsome fotball to watch

Some of my favorite players come from the 2000s era of AC Milan, they were THE team to beat

Why is man posting during a game

Milan is not just a club, it's an entire VIBE ❤🖤❤️🖤

Not only AC Milan but also Serie A were on the golden age and no one could rival it.

Poor Costacurta doing double the work for a single paycheck. (16:26)

What a team and what a CHANNEL! 🔥🔥🔥

For those wanting more Ancient Milan content, the channel balón has a great video

Loved the video. Ac milan were monsters

I think 80s to 90s Serie A was the strongest league ever

as a Milan fan, i see what we are lacking today to come back at those levels... it's not only the manager or players, we lack a solid management doing the background job. Despite as an italian i feel disgust for the figure of Berlusconi, i must admit is ability on certain things. PS: thank you for remembering that we were great before the '80s as well

To all my fellow Rossoneri, Forza Milan⚫️🔴, glory days are to come!

Remember watching Football Italia on C4 (UK) every Sunday. Loved that Milan team, particularly Maldini. The fact Van Basten was forced out of the game by other players kicking the **** out of his ankles was criminal.

I love these videos so much.... Informative

If Liverpool didn't have such ridiculous plot armour in 2005 you could very much make the case that the 2002/03 - 2006/07 team would've been their golden age Two Ballon d'Or winners in Shevchenko and Kaka alongside 2 UCL's from 3 finals. Maldini still in the squad in the twilight years of their career, two Italian 2006 world cup winners at the centre of their midfield with two of the most prestigious footballing nations making up key parts of the team such as Kaka, Cafu, Dida for Brazil and Stam and Seedorf for the Netherlands

Hope to see more of these! Underdog tips for a new video; a look back at Rosenborg (Norwegian club) during the 90s and early 2000s. Won the domnestic league 13 seasons in a row and punched well above their weight in the Champions League for the entirety of this period as well, beating the likes of Real Madrid, AC Milan, Dortmund, Blackburn etc. The legend of when Rosenborg knocked AC Milan out of the CL, beating them at San Siro is perhaps the biggest tale of legends in Norwegian club football. They also beat Dortmund 3-0 away, Real 2-0 at home etc. etc. Some insane results, and being able to qualify consistently (remember, there was never any direct qualification for Norwegian clubs) for so many years (11 times from 95-2007) is nuts. There's also some gorgeous footage of home games in the Norwegian winter. Anyways, it's a great story - hope to see you dive into it one day!

As a Milan fan, I really appreciate this video. Thank you, and brilliant video, as always ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽

Between 1987 and 2007 this club rocked! 20 years of glory!

That pronounciation really caught me off guard.. Made micah cry.

Baresi and Maldini jr are the outstanding partnership of defence

Finally. I was waiting for one these, a video on past legacies

big fan i learn so much from u dude keep up ur success and its my first time being so early

From AC Milan Hardcore Fan ...Thank you for this video . Made my day . Milan, Tu Sei Tutta La Mia Vita !

Thanks for this video mate, this day and age tv broadcasters and people in social media seem to forget what we once were and seeing you take the dedication to make a piece reminding us, even to us the rossoneri, how big our team was and to my eyes still is maybe without the flare it used to be. Sempre Forza Milan!❤🖤💪

King Maldini 🤴 👑

This was an amazing video. Enjoyed watching such a well constructed summary of this Milan period. Thanks

Great work man. You're doing a fantastic job with these videos. Just continue to rock

Amazing vid man.. Always appreciate the history

Please more videos like this. I Love this bro. Thank you

AC Milans Team of 2005-06 still has highest FIFA Rating of all time, the lowest rated player in the team was 87🤏🏾🔥

Golden age of hair too

Great new format, hope you keep making these historic videos in the future. Cheers

Loved this!

That jockey quote 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The vibes from this era are unmatched

Finally, thanks for throwing light on to some more SERIE A history. People need to know FORZA JUVE

Milan nowdays might not be even a shadow what they used to be, but... looking back at what they did and achieved, probabbly this is the club that influenced the Football world the most. Sure, Real Madrid might be the one with most Trophies, but that Milan side was something else entirely.

As a Milan fan I have to say that this video is really well done!

awesome video bro , good shit

Excelente laburo!!!

16:24 WOW! I knew Alessandro Costacurta was very good, but good enough to play two positions at the same time . 🤣🤣🤣

16:21 Costacurta has been repeated in the illustration. Thanks for the video. Hope you do more of these

i'm not italian, i'm not even a rossonero, but capello's milan is my favorite team of all time, no question. gullit, van basten, rossi, maldini, baresi, costacurta, albertini, papin, desailly, savicevic, boban, massaro, simone, lentini, donadoni, tassotti, panucci (which capello would take with him at real).....this team was *scary* ... they were the galacticos of their time, a time *before* the bosman ruling.

God damn it I love the vids

Your best video yet

I needed to cope, thanks for the vid 🥲

2:53 You didn't have to do him like that.😂

awesome video, one of the best teams of all time.

Yet again my man's cooking

Gianni Rivera is one of the most forgotten greats

AC Milan with Kaka were very good 😮

The team of the century. The players in the squad would walk into any team in their position. Iconic,.epic all the fancy nouns imaginable. Loved watching channel four and Italian football was peak. Take me back.

Maldini and Kaka is what I think of first when I hear AC Milan .

GOAT Nathan Aké playing since last 40 years 🙏

Good old days 😊. Everything was about Seri A back then.

Arguably the best defenders that ever played football, in the world. Ever

The true best trio of football, it changes everything even how we still play football today (tanks Sacchi)

This is a great video. I’m very biased as an AC Milan fan, but still

A 30 min video 🫠🫠 what did we do to deserve this

Please do more GOLDEN AGE/STANDARD series/episode, Man UTD - Paisley's Liverpool - Mourinho's Chelsea - Wengers Arsenal.

I grew up watching Milan and would never dare changing them for any other team despite the many downs. Forza Milan!

This is well done. Kudos from a pro writer 😉😎

Channel 4's 'Football Italia' programme on Sunday afternoon in the mid-90s was just bliss. In 94, I saw Milan beat Fiorentina 7-3 in one of the most spellbinding games ever played. It was Peak Football.

My favourite team to watch. Dutch players played at milan whilst 2 or 3 big name germans played for inter(rudi at roma). Great days

LESGOOOO MILAN EPISODE❤️🖤

Give Balon his flowers man

Growing up in the UK in the 90’s, we had Gazetta football on channel 4 to watch every Sunday. Serie A was by far the best league in the world at the time, and people of my generation generally had an Italian team that they adopted as their second, if not favourite team. The Milan team of the early to mid 90’s will always be one of my favourite teams ever, (Second only to Barnsley 96/97) 🙏😘

unfortunate van basten had ankles of sand, could have been one of the greatest of all time

Those older Italian league teams were all score one and park the bus 😂😂😂

I'd have plenty of (mostly bad) things to say about Berlusconi, but one thing you got wrong that is important to point out is that his television is not just Canale 5. Mediaset is a huge media group with 3 main public TV channels (Rete 4, Canale 5 and Italia 1) and multiple premium channels. They are a big part of the Berlusconi family business empire and they had a huge role in his business and then political carrier.

20:02 "Terrible... yes.... but great" 😂

i was in San Siro at 89 when we beat Real Madrid 5:0 Sacci's immortals. Galli, Tassotti, Paolo Maldini, Colombo, Costacurta, Franco Baresi, Donadoni, Frank Rijkaard, Marko Van Basten, Root Gullit, Ancelotti.

1994 Athens will never be forgotten. Thank you Don Fabio

almost every old person i know is supporting milan, even my 60 years old father

Before Real Madrid there was Ac Milan...the true Royals of Europe.

My childhood dream team and Idol im Mr Marco Van Basten What a goal scrorer..This team had everything

AC Milan was billionaire ball before Chelsea, América was millionaire ball before Milan.

@16:29 Tassoti being eclipsed by Costacurta. So good he plays two positions at once.

YES SIRRR

Tinashe don’t one on Marseille and Sampdoria in the 90’s

A great club that people now overlook

That final between Milan and Barca was my first champions league final.

Berlusconi played a crucial part in the current destruction of modern day football, but he also gave us the most magnificent team of all time.

Sacchi and Capellio's teams were something else.

Berlusconi is the perfect personification of Two Face's saying in Dark Knight (You either die a hero lr live long enough to see yourself become the villain). He was a hero for the most of his time as Milan's owner but his ending was sad

Thanks for the video, it was awesome to know more about it and it was greatly scripted

Legendary

I started watching football in the early 2000s and back then, and even up until the end of the decade, AC Milan was considered the biggest team in the Champions League, ahead of Real Madrid and Bayern Munchen.
