All statistics correct as of 15 May 1988.

In 1987 summer, Milan bet on Dutch draft: Marco van Basten and Ruud Gullit came to brace the side.[1] Coach role was given to Arrigo Sacchi, at his debut in Serie A.[2][3] Rossoneri soon failed European aims, having - also - play home matches on neutral ground (Lecce) for San Siro disqualification (issued in 1986).[4][5] They were beaten by Espanyol, in second round.[6][7]

Domestic league gave better results, with side stable at second place in mid season.[8][9][10] Retour half never saw Milan lose a game, for a trend that let him to recover points on Napoli.[11] Reigning champions wasted a match-ball with 2 matches left, when Milan won 3–2 at their home.[12] Following draws, against Juventus and Como, insured Scudetto.[13] It was the first domestic title since 1979, the eleventh overall.[14]
