MILAN – Here is our look-back at three memorable moments to have fallen on this date, 4 March, in the club’s illustrious history:

– 1951: inspired by the great trio of Gre-No-Li, Milan defeated Juventus 2-0 in a top of the table clash at San Siro. Nordahl and Liedholm were on the score-sheet.

– 1979: the Rossoneri came out on top in a five goal thriller at Fiorentina, winning 3-2. Bigon bagged himself a double while Aldo Maldera scored the other for a vital league win in Milan’s march towards Scudetto no. 10 in the club’s history.

– 2006: in a league match at home to Empoli, and with the scores tied at 0-0 with less than 15 minutes to go, Milan’s strike force of Inzaghi-Shevchenko burst into life. The former netted a brace while Sheva added another for a final score of 3-0 in favour of the Rossoneri.

MILAN – Born on this day in 1942 in Alessandria of all places, Milan’s opponents earlier this week in the TIM Cup, Riccardo Sogliano celebrates his birthday today. Many happy returns!

During his days with the club from 1971 to 1974, Riccardo made 80 appearances and scored 3 goals. What’s more, the former midfielder was part of the Milan squad that won 2 Italian Cups as well as the Cup Winners’ Cup.
