Associazione Calcio Milan enjoyed perhaps the greatest season in its history, winning three trophies, most memorable for the 4–0 victory againstFC Barcelona in theChampions League Final inAthens. That game saw a goal explosion from a Milan side that had been extremely defensive during the entire league season. Milan won Serie A for a third consecutive time with a mere 36 goals scored in 34 games, but conceding only 15, which was largely down to their strong defensive line, withFranco Baresi andPaolo Maldini as key players to thank for their third consecutive domestic success. Milan's match against struggling Reggiana at San Siro on 1 May 1994 came on a day when the sporting world was overshadowed with the death ofFormula One racing driverAyrton Senna in the1994 San Marino Grand Prix, but the football world was focused on AC Milan's attempts to seal a 13th title. It was a narrow 1–0 defeat by Reggiana, with a goal from Massimiliano Esposito, but mathematically enough to seal the Scudetto by league trophy handover ceremony. This team is widely regarded as one of the best teams of all time.[2][3]
This season was the first not to feature any contributions from the famous Dutch trio ofMarco van Basten,Ruud Gullit, andFrank Rijkaard. While the former was unable to play all throughout the season due to ankle injury treatment, the latter two transferred out of the club during pre-season.
