AC Milan have one of the worst directors in football

AC Milan have not won a match in their first three fixtures of the Serie A season, which were against Torino, Parma, and Lazio. At worst, you'd expect Milan to get at least five points from those matches, none of which were against Champions League contenders. Meanwhile, Milan were second in Serie A last season, only by virtue of the fact that the league pretty much stunk. Roma, Napoli, and Lazio all took massive steps backwards, while the fact that a Max Allegri-led Juventus were competition in third speaks more, if anything, towards how mediocre Milan were in second.

In fact, Zlatan played for all three powerhouses of Italian football, but perhaps his period was a largely overlooked tenure in Paris as the first face of the Qatari project before the arrivals of Neymar and Kylian Mba...

The 7 best strikers in AC Milan history you need to know

AC Milan are one of the most storied clubs in the history of world football. Like most Serie A clubs, AC Milan are synonymous for elite defensive talents, yet the Rossoneri have also boasted a fine group of attacking superstars over the years at the San Siro. Here are the seven best strikers in AC Milan history you need to know. Only true No. 9's were included, so while Ricardo Kaka is as good as any of the players on this list of seven, he was more of an attacking midfielder than striker and does not count. Marco Van Basten Marco Van Basten has a case for being the greatest striker of all time - not just the greatest AC Milan striker of all time. The Dutch superstar scored some of the finest volleyed goals in history, bringing a level of technical quality to the fore that no striker ...

Known as the "League of Talents", Ligue 1 has produced so many wonderful footballers over the years, particularly attacking players. There has always been a rich pool of attacking talent in the French top flight over the decades, as Ballon d'Or winners and world-class goal-scorers have made their names initially in Ligue 1.
