AC Milan 1989-1990 Away Short-Sleeve Football Shirt [As worn by Ancelotti, Rijkaard & Van Basten]

Description

This is the fully-customizable short-sleeve away kit for AC Milan’s 1988-1989 and 1989-1990 seasons.

The 1989-1990 season was a defining chapter in the storied history of AC Milan, as they embarked on a quest to solidify their status as one of Europe’s most formidable forces. Building on the success of the previous season, the Rossoneri sought to etch their name in footballing folklore once again.

Led by the remarkable Dutch trio of Marco van Basten, Ruud Gullit, and Frank Rijkaard, AC Milan exuded a sense of unity and purpose. Their on-field chemistry and mutual understanding propelled the team to remarkable heights. Together, they formed a formidable unit that struck fear into the hearts of their opponents.

While the Scudetto eluded their grasp, Milan’s pursuit of European glory continued unabated. In a thrilling European Cup final clash against Benfica, the red and black half of Milan showcased their mettle and determination. The indomitable trio of van Basten, Gullit, and Rijkaard left an indelible mark on the grandest stage of European football, combining their talents to secure a resounding victory. It was a testament to Milan’s tactical astuteness, unwavering resolve, and the sheer brilliance of their star-studded lineup.

The back-to-back European triumphs signaled Milan’s dominance on the continental stage, cementing their status as a force to be reckoned with. The team’s remarkable achievements were a testament to their collective spirit, relentless pursuit of excellence, and the unwavering guidance of their astute coach.

However, despite their European exploits, AC Milan fell just short in the Serie A title race. Napoli, led by the mercurial Diego Maradona, proved to be an immovable force, denying Milan the domestic glory they coveted. It was a bitter pill to swallow for the Rossoneri, but their valiant efforts and unwavering pursuit of success were commendable.

Please note that the squad numbers that season varied a lot, and players didn’t have a fixed number. They would rather pick and choose every other match, depending on the starting squad.

Notable Players: Carlo Ancelotti, Marco Van Basten, Frank Rijkaard, Paolo Maldini, Franco Baresi, Demetrio Albertini, Mauro Tassotti
