I had a big poster of van Basten from the European Cup final against Steaua on my wall back then. Special time. On that note, van Basten is surely one of the greatest players I've ever seen. He was so unplayable that it's not too far off to say that they had to kick him into early retirement Edited October 31, 2025 by Vinny Green Balls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was so unplayable that it's not too far off to say that they had to kick him into early retirement In terms of atmosphere it was an unforgettable final. Communism hadn't fallen yet and since there were no Romanian fans all the tickets went to us. 90,000 Rossoneri at the Nou Camp and 30,000 outside the stadium without tickets. We Ultras alone made 120 pullman. The best final, however, was in '94 against Romario's Barca, Koeman and Stoichkov... we had Baresi and Costacurta suspended and a week before Cruijff said that Milan had no chance, couldn't win... 4-0 and they never saw the ball . Thanks Cruijff for motivating us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would have easily won against the Milan of the mid-2000s. Only comparable club team to that Milan team is Barcelona in their pomp but I'd back Milan over them.

Best in my lifetime Maybe Cruiff's Ajax but I've never seen them play; anyway they were playing in a non-competitive Dutch league. Here we played against Platini's Juve, Maradona's Napoli, Vialli/Mancini Sampdoria, and Matthaus' Inter... a player like Zico came to Italy to play for Udinese, as if Mbappé play for Fulham today.

I don't remember the year but it was Milan-Napoli at San Siro (Maradona's first year in Italy and his first time at San Siro). In those years the players would enter an hour before the match to see the pitch firsthand and they'd come in wearing their club uniforms, so jacket and tie and "wedding" shoes. Napoli enters and 80,000 people are booing like crazy. There's a ball near the bench. Maradona picks it up, dribbles it a few times, then kicks it perpendicularly above his head but very, very high. When the ball comes back to his foot he repeats the same thing without the ball hitting the pitch... I didn't count, but I think he did it eight or nine times... San Siro went completely silent. I turned to my friend and he turned to me without saying a word....we couldn't believe it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
