AC Milan are one of the most storied clubs in the history of European soccer. And for the most part, the last 15 years have been good to them.
The Rossoneri have won a pair of Scudetti and two UEFA Champions Leagues during that time, and until the last three or four years, they consistently finished in the mix at the top of the Serie A table.
Many countries, Italy in particular, have been criticized in recent years over the proportion of foreign players featuring in their top leagues. Milan’s crosstown rivals, Inter Milan, have a recent history of hardly fielding Italians at all.
Milan has tended to strike a balance in this regard, getting key contributions from a core of Italian players supplemented by high-impact foreigners.
That raises the question: What if, one day in training, AC Milan’s Italian and foreign players divided and had a match?
That’s the hypothetical situation we will be taking a look at in this article. We’ve combed through Milan’s squads from the 2001-02 season to the current one, looking for the best players to fit into a 4-3-1-2 formation. We’ll grade the players at each position against each other, and then evaluate which lineup would triumph in a one-off game.
Who wins, Italy or the world? Let’s find out.
