  3. For me this remains the greatest club side I’ve ever seen… and that’s hard to say when you’ve seen Pep’s Barcelona of the mid to late 2000’s and early 2010’s… but yeah, this Milan team had the lot… in by far the most powerful domestic competition on the planet, they changed the way Italian football was played with high pressing and attack is the best form of defence approach… the greatest back 4 of all time, and that Dutch trio… they could outplay you, out battle you and their trophy haul in a 9 year period plus an invincible season wins the day for me!

  21. Milan used to be one of the most beautiful teams in the world, not even Messi and Xavi's Barca, or Penaldo and Zidane's Real Madrid have ever been capable of what Milan have been capable of in the early 2000s. I keep telling every imbecile and Messi / Penaldo idiot out there that were the 2000s' Milan to face any of Messi's Barca, or Penaldo's Real when all these 3 teams have been at their peaks the mighty Milan would have thrashed them 3-0 or 4-0, just like they've done with Cruyff's Barca in 1994. But nobody believes me, fucking brainwashed Messi / Penaldo hysterics.

    Unfortunately, I have not been able to follow the 90s Milan because I've been 10 years old back then and I only got vested in football several years later (after the Man Utd – Bayern Munchen 1999 UCL final, more specifically), but shortly after that final I have finally gotten in love with the mighty AC Milan. Watching them fail so miserably in the Champions League has been a big disappointment for me. But then again, I never expected them to perform well given their shit players. Only Kjaer, Leao, Magnan, Benacer, and possibly (just possibly) Tonali are Milan material. Oh, Zlatan, too, but Ibracadabra is too old to matter anymore…. But all other nuisances need to go. If Milan want to get back at top where they belong they need a complete overhaul of the roster because many of those guys can't play football. Theo is technical and good overall, but my God if he's not a pansy and mentally soft! Just shoulder him a little bit and he's rolling on the pitch writing in childbirth's pains facepalm

    Anyway, I've lost a friendship because of the mighty AC Milan of the 2000s, and I don't regret shit. I'm Romanian, but for some reason that I can't explain I like AC Milan more than any of the shitty clubs in my country. Milan is the most non-italian club, so to speak, which is probably why I like them so much, although…. to be fair, most Italian clubs have started being non-italian lately, which is a big win for Serie A in my opinion. Even though I prefer the Italian style of play (defense-based), there is just so much defense that I can stand when watching football games, which is one of the reasons I've stopped following Italian football some 12-15 years ago. But I've checked Serie A again over the last year and apparently they've given up defense for a more attacking football, which makes the games more enjoyable. Well, Milan have been playing like this for at least 20-30 years, which – again – is one of the main reasons I've become their fan.

    I miss Sheva, Maldini, Seedorf, Pirlo, Kaka, Pippo, Nesta, and Rui Costa so much… all these guys have been potential Ballon d'Or winninrs and they all played for the same team (the mighty AC Milan). How could they not have thrashed Messi and Penaldo's teams then?? Only a fool could not see that

  23. Savicevic not even gets a mention

    Incredible how he still gets disrespected, overlooked, under appreciated and underrated even 30 years later…

  25. A walk thru soccer history is always a fantastic walk thru hilarious player hairstyles and facial hair…😂
    And the contemporary styles will contain some superb examples for the future…🤣

  27. 88-94 is the best side of all time. I think they’d smash the Barcelona team from a decade ago as Milan had a superior defence.

    I always loved the way Sacchi was inspired from the Dutch side of 1974 and evolved it into something more modern.

    Sacchi also made the best quote ever when the press were asking him how he could be a top level manager without having played at the top – ‘I didn’t realise you have to be a horse first to become a jockey’ 😂

  30. I always appreciate your videos. Thank you for taking the time to put them together and it is also such a great way to allow some of us old school fans to revisit some of the old classic football stories and players. Thank you!

  36. So glad the youtube algorithm recommended me this channel before it became big (2.3k as of now). I'm sure it will reach 100k+ within the next few months. Keep up the great work 🙂
