How The Mighty Have Fallen:AC Milan Suffer Worst Defeat In 21 Years
AC Milan suffered its heaviest defeat in 21 years after losing 5-0 to Atalanta, marking a new low for a club that was once the dominant force in European football.
It equals the Rossoneri’s worst-ever loss in the competition and is the first time since a 5-0 drubbing at Roma in 1998 that they have lost by a five-goal margin.
The result is a crushing blow for Milan, a team which once boasted a star-studded lineup that won five league titles in the 1990s and two Champions Leagues in the 2000s.
Since parting ways with Massimiliano Allegri in 2014, Milan has had nine different managers, including stints from club legends Clarence Seedorf, Filippo Inzaghi and Gennaro Gattuso.
The humiliating loss leaves Milan 10th in Serie A and brings a four-game unbeaten run to a shuddering end.
