AC MILAN - AWAY SHIRT 2025/2026
AC Milan are one of Italian football's grand old institutions, founded in 1899 and based in the Lombard capital. Known to supporters as the Rossoneri (the red and blacks) and Il Diavolo (the Devil), they share the vast San Siro, officially the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, with city rivals Inter, a cauldron holding around 75,000. Seven European Cups sit in the cabinet, placing Milan among the most decorated sides on the continent, and the San Siro's spiralling corner towers make it one of the game's true theatres.
The 2025/2026 campaign, during which this striking away shirt was worn, marked the return of Massimiliano Allegri, the coach who had steered Milan to the Scudetto in 2010/2011. In a rare season with no European football to fill the midweeks, the Rossoneri could pour everything into the domestic front, yet they fell just short, finishing 5th in Serie A and missing a Champions League return on a tense final day. A place in the Europa League was the consolation.
The Coppa Italia offered another way back to the top table, and Allegri made no secret of fancying a cup run, but Milan's involvement ended in the Round of 16. With no continental fixtures to chase, the season became a week-by-week scrap for the top four, the Rossoneri lingering around the Champions League places before slipping out of the reckoning right at the death.
Rafael Leão led the Serie A charts with nine league goals, the Portuguese forward's pace and swagger a constant menace down the left, while American Christian Pulisic finished as the club's top scorer across all competitions. It proved a campaign of steady rebuilding rather than silverware, Allegri restoring structure and grit as Milan set about hauling themselves back towards the European elite where they feel they belong.
