Recently, Hamid posted Milan's record in EC1. Since I have been compiling
Milan's Cup stats in the last few months, I would like to correct a few
minor points:
Milan's game vs. PSG was the 100th of the EC1 campaigns (not 99th)
and the record stands as follows:
P W D L Gf Ga
Home 44 35 6 3 120 22
Away 46 18 14 14 60 48
Neutral 10 7 0 3 23 11
___________________________________________________
Totals 100 60 20 20 203 81
Note the symmetry!!!
Note two things: for the purposes of the above table, the two games played
this year in Trieste (Milan-AEK, Milan-Ajax) are considered played on a
Neutral site (whether Trieste is "neutral" or not is debatable, but for the
above table "home" means San Siro). Also the game against Olympique Marseilles
in 1991 is counted as a 3-0 defeat since the 3-0 forfait score is the official
FIFA result and supersedes the actual 1-0 defeat on the field.
A few more details:
The 3 teams which have beaten Milan in San Siro in EC1 are:
Saarbrucken - 3-4 in 1955/56 in Milan's first EC1 game ever (Milan won the
return in Saarbrucken by 1-4).
Barcelona - 0-2 in 1959/60 (Barcelona went on to cream Milan 5-1 in Barcelona
in the return)
and Porto - 0-1 in 1979/80 (this was the return match, the away leg in Oporto
had ended up 0-0)
Also, the alltime leading scorers of Milan an ALL THREE European Cups are:
1. Altafini 20 goals
2. van Basten 18
3. Prati 16
4. Bigon 14
5. Rivera 12
Chiarugi 12
7. Sormani 11
Virdis 11
SIMONE 11
10. MASSARO 9
11. Schiaffino 8
Benetti 8
13. Calloni 7
Papin 7
15. Grillo 6
Barison 6
Gullit 6
Rijkaard 6
