Under manager Alberto Zaccheroni, AC Milan had a challenging Serie A campaign, finishing 3rd, behind Lazio and Juventus. The squad featured key players like Andriy Shevchenko, George Weah, Paolo Maldini, and Demetrio Albertini, blending attacking talent with defensive experience and midfield control. Milan showed flashes of brilliance, particularly in attack, but inconsistency and defensive lapses limited their ability to mount a sustained title challenge. In European competition, they participated in the UEFA Champions League, reaching the semi-finals. Domestic cup runs were modest. The season reflected a talented squad in transition, capable of competing at a high level but lacking consistency to dominate Italy or Europe.
