Fabio Capello’s side reclaimed the Scudetto, the last league title of his first spell, built on a parsimonious defence and measured possession. New attacking pieces (Weah, Baggio) meshed with the old guard (Maldini, Baresi, Costacurta) to grind out results; the blue “fourth” kit was a rarely seen alternate in this campaign.

Wearing No. 4, Albertini operated as Milan’s regista, dictating tempo from deep with diagonals, switches and set-piece delivery. He was a constant in midfield alongside Desailly and Boban, earned Italy selection for Euro ’96, and remained the side’s technical metronome during the title run.
