Milan match issued / worn shirt by Savicevic, for the Champions Cup Final played in Athens against Barcelona on 18/05/1994, 1993/94 season.

That night in Piraeus, under a Greek sky lit up in red and black, wasn’t just a European Cup final. It was the crowning moment of a team, the sporting revenge of substance over arrogance, of hunger over vanity. It was Milan’s perfect night, a night no fan will ever forget.

No one gave Milan a chance. Too many injuries, too many problems, and a Barcelona side seen as too strong. Yet, in that white shirt created especially for the occasion, with the tricolour badge and gold star stitched over the heart, Milan wrote one of the most incredible chapters in its history.

While Johan Cruyff posed with the trophy before even playing the match, convinced that his "Dream Team" would dominate effortlessly, Fabio Capello was silently preparing the perfect game. What makes that night even more extraordinary for Milan is the context leading up to it: the Rossoneri arrived in Athens crippled by the suspensions of their two starting center-backs, Franco Baresi and Alessandro Costacurta.

To find an effective solution, Fabio Capello organized a friendly in Florence just eight days before the final, using it as a testing ground for a new defensive line. But the test turned out to be a disaster: Milan lost 2-0 against Fiorentina, and neither of the two defensive pairings offered any reassurance.

First, Marcel Desailly was tested alongside Mauro Tassotti, then Capello moved Paolo Maldini to the center, pairing him with Filippo Galli. Neither solution proved entirely convincing, increasing uncertainty just before the most important match of the year.

Capello opted for Maldini and Galli as emergency center-backs, relying on a steel-strong midfield and an attack that was just waiting for the right spark. And that spark had a name and a number: Dejan Savićević: number 10, Il Genio.

In the first half, he set up the opener for Massaro and inspired the second. But the moment that lit up the Olympic Stadium in Athens came after the break:

Savićević stole the ball from Nadal, drifted wide to the right, looked up, and lifted a delicate, perfect, unforgettable chip. It was 3–0. It was the footballing humiliation of a team that thought itself untouchable. It was the image forever etched in the memory of anyone who loves this sport.

That chip was more than a goal, it was a poem written with the left foot, a declaration of artistry and courage. A gesture that symbolised the entire evening, in which Milan dismantled Barça and lifted their fifth European Cup with a crushing, legendary 4–0 win.

That triumph had it all: Capello’s resilience, the strength of the group, and talent that exploded at the moment it mattered most.

But above all, it had that number 10, often debated, sometimes brilliant, sometimes misunderstood, who, on a night in Athens, claimed his place in history.

That shirt, with the number 10 on its back, soaked in sweat, filled with flair and defiance, is now a relic that tells the story of Milan’s triumph and the redemption of its Genio. A symbol of the night when football bowed to a masterpiece.
