AC Milan: A Football Legend in Miniature

AC Milan is not only one of the most prestigious clubs in European football but also one of the most beloved teams in the miniature world of Subbuteo. In this article, we’ll explore the glorious history of the Rossoneri, their cultural impact, and how they are represented in the Subbuteo La Leggenda collection, available on our website www.laleggendadelsubbuteo.com.

A Bit of History: The Origins of Milan

AC Milan was founded on December 16, 1899, by a group of English expatriates, including Alfred Edwards and Herbert Kilpin. Since then, the club has gone through glorious eras and difficult times but has always remained one of the strongest symbols of Italian and international football.

The club has won numerous national and international titles, including:

19 Serie A titles (most recently in 2022)
5 Coppa Italia
7 Italian Supercups
7 European Cups / UEFA Champions Leagues
5 UEFA Super Cups
3 Intercontinental Cups

Milan and Subbuteo: A Passion in Miniature

In the Subbuteo La Leggenda collection, Milan is represented in various historical versions. One of the most requested is the 1993-94 team, which won the Champions League under Fabio Capello, defeating Barcelona 4-0 in Athens. This iconic team is available in our selection and can be purchased directly in the team catalog.

Milan is also featured in other legendary editions such as:

Why Milan Charms Subbuteo Collectors

There are three main reasons why Milan teams are so loved in the Subbuteo world:

History and Prestige: Few clubs can boast a trophy cabinet as impressive as Milan’s, especially at the European level. Owning a Milan team is like owning a piece of football history.
Aesthetics: Milan’s kit, with its iconic red and black stripes, is one of the most recognizable and striking in football.
Nostalgia: Many Subbuteo fans associate Milan with childhood memories, green felt pitches, and legendary players like Baresi, Maldini, Kaká, and Shevchenko.

Milan in Tabletop Games: A Legacy That Lives On

Beyond Subbuteo, AC Milan has been featured in many other board games and video games, such as:

FIFA (EA Sports)
Pro Evolution Soccer
Panini Calciatori (sticker albums)

However, none of these offer the tactile, physical, and emotional experience of Subbuteo. The sound of the miniatures flicking the ball, the precision of the flick, and the joy of scoring a handmade goal make Subbuteo a true analog art form of football.
