Associazione Calcio Milan managed to claim its first league title for five seasons, following an impressive display of offensive and defensive skills. Arguably, this was at the pinnacle of Carlo Ancelotti's Milan helm, since the side proved it had the ability to last for the whole season.

Season rivals Roma both scored more and conceded less goals than Milan, but effective Milanese showing in tight matches, ensured the winning margin was edged out to a stable 11 points. The title was sealed against Roma at home, with a goal in the second minute from Andriy Shevchenko proving enough for a 1–0 victory.

In Champions League, Milan were knocked-out of the competionion in the quarter-finals, losing 4–0 to Deportivo La Coruña in the return leg, after they had won 4–1 at home.

Individually, the biggest surprise was how Kaká seamlessly found his way into the Italian game, being a key player as the playmaker. Andriy Shevchenko was crowned as European Footballer of the Year on the back of his successful season, but the whole team had a remarkable season.
