“Milan is my laboratory for the future… we would like to be the best of course. But at the highest level, winning or losing is often a matter of luck. What is important is that we are among the main actors in this theatre.” (Silvio Berlusconi, 1992)
It is half-time in the southeast of Italy on the last day of the 1991-92 season. The Stadio Pino Zaccheria is rocking. The new champions of Italy, AC Milan, are trailing Zdenek Zeman’s Foggia by two goals to one.
Only Fiorentina in 1956, had the newly crowned winners of Serie A have an opportunity to go a full league campaign unbeaten. Fiorentina lost their final game that day to Genoa.
Thirty-six years later, Milan coach Fabio Capello and his men know they will make history if they can turn this around in the second half.
