Milan 1-6 Juventus: a result that changed the shape of Italian football
The tectonic plates of Italian football shifted on 6 April 6 1997, when Juventus travelled to San Siro, beat reigning champions Milan 6-1 and stamped their superiority on Serie A. Twenty-five years have passed and Italian football has not seen such a dominant showing since. “It was a fantastic game,” says Christian Vieri, who scored two of Juve’s goals. “We played 90 amazing minutes, scored six goals and our team was fabulous. No one ever beat Milan 6-1 at home.” It remains Milan’s biggest home defeat in Serie A.
