AC Milan 1988-1989 Home Long Sleeves

The 1988-1989 season was a defining era for AC Milan, as they firmly established themselves as the dominant force in European football under manager Arrigo Sacchi. This long-sleeved home shirt, with its famous red and black stripes, became synonymous with one of the most successful sides in football history.

Worn by iconic players such as Franco Baresi, Paolo Maldini, Ruud Gullit, and Marco van Basten, this shirt was present as Milan lifted the European Cup, defeating Steaua Bucharest 4-0 in the final in Barcelona. It wasn’t just a triumph for the club, but a symbol of a tactical revolution, as Sacchi’s Milan was revered for their pressing style and organization, which redefined modern football. Milan also won the Supercoppa Italiana that season, further cementing their dominance.

The long sleeves of this version add a classic touch, often seen on players in the cold European nights, embodying both style and substance. The shirt’s simple yet powerful design, featuring the subtle star above the crest to mark their previous Scudetto titles, became iconic during a season where AC Milan reclaimed their place at the pinnacle of football.

This kit is not just a piece of history but a reminder of Milan's golden era, worn during a season that redefined what it meant to be a champion.
