AC Milan's history is like a UEFA Champions League chronicle - from the pioneering of the Swedish troika to the legend of Rivera and Mardela, from the sweeping of the three Dutch musketeers in Europe, to the generational loyalty of the Maldini family. Now, let us travel through time and space, bring together the legends of the Ross and Blacks from all ages to form this ultimate lineup that is the most perfect in football history.

Formation: 4-3-1-2 (the perfect fusion of Saki and Ancelotti)

Central defender: Franko Baresi (1977-1997)

Red and Black Soul, a model for a team in a lifetime. As a scavenger, he redefined the art of defensiveness and led the strongest line of defense in Milan's history. The core of winning the Champions League titles in 1989 and 1990 was permanently sealed because of him.

Central defender: Alessandro Nesta (2002-2012)

Head coach: Arigo Saki (1987-1991)

Tactical Revolutionary, who used regional defense and oppression tactics to change Italian football, led Milan back to back to the Champions League, and created the irreplicable Milan dynasty.

Legendary bench:

Kaka (2003-2009, 2007 Golden Globes), Alberto Piacentini (scorer in the 1960s), De Metro Albertini (Milan metronome), Cesare Maldini (first generation of Martini legend), Clarence Sidorf (four Champions League winners), Andre Shevchenko (nuclear warhead), Ariedo Giani (core in the 1960s)

Lineup analysis:

This lineup perfectly reflects AC Milan's football philosophy - the perfect fusion of Italy's solid defense and the glamorous Dutch offense. Baresi and Maldini built the most awesome defense line in football history; Rijkaard and Pirlo provided midfield balance and creativity; Gulit and Rivera delivered ammunition; Basten and Nodar completed a fatal blow.

From Nodar to Basten, from Rivera to Kaka, AC Milan's history is a history of the inheritance of super shooters; from Old Maldini to Paul Maldini, the Ross and Blacks interpret what family glory and club tradition are.

When Baresi's accurate long pass finds Gulit, when Pirlo's dispatch is assigned to Maldini, when Rivera's direct pass assists Basten, what we see is not only a team, but also a perfect presentation of football philosophy: solid but not conservative, gorgeous but not exaggerated.

These legends wrote the history of AC Milan with their feet and established the status of European aristocrats with trophys. Behind the 7 Champions League trophys is the unremitting pursuit of football art by the Reds and Blacks. The sounds of singing from the San Sironan stands are the best tribute to these legends - they not only won the competition, but also won the eternal respect of the world football world.

Because in this San Siro Stadium shrouded in red and black, tradition and innovation will always coexist, and art and tactics will be perfectly combined. This is AC Milan, and this is the real aristocrat in European football.
