Under manager Leonardo, AC Milan had a solid Serie A campaign, finishing 3rd, securing Champions League qualification. The squad featured stars such as Zlatan Ibrahimović, Ronaldinho, Andrea Pirlo, Gennaro Gattuso, and Paolo Maldini, blending attacking creativity with defensive experience and leadership. Milan displayed moments of brilliance, particularly in attack, but inconsistency and injuries limited their ability to challenge for the title. In the Champions League, they were eliminated in the Round of 16 by Manchester United, while domestic cup performances were modest. The season reflected a transitional period, highlighting the need for squad rejuvenation and tactical stability.
