Thanks for the continued support everyone! In case you aren't aware, I was hacked by an email scam on the 12th January 2022. The hackers got into my Google account and changed my channel to 'Ethereum (Live)' and started live streaming. Youtube initially suspended the account but helped me get it back and ensure this will not happen again.
Thanks again everyone,

Imagine if someone like Inzaghi was playing in this day and age. The referee would have to check VAR every 5min to see if he was truly offside or not. He was working that offside-line tirelessly.

[MastinoNapoletano]

I will never forget when Kaka split the Man United defense with that headed through ball to himself. I am not a Milan fan but that moment made me fall in love with the game all over again. Such class at such a high level of play...

[dariusbaja]

That team, n just the World of Football in general in the 2000's was something truly special . All those great players n teams, It just will never be like that again .

I was 14 y.o when Milan lost the final to Liverpool. Ironically, this is the night I became a fan of Milan. They had the most magical team I’ve ever seen until this day.

I have to say that Milan side of the mid 2000s is one of the greatest 11’s I’ve seen in the flesh

[michaelmayers]

The nostalgic moments of early 90s and 2000s AC Milan football were defined by a deep passion and love for the game. Legends like Paolo Maldini, Alessandro Nesta, Cafu, Andrea Pirlo, Clarence Seedorf showcased unmatched skill and dedication, leading the team to multiple titles.Kaka, Shevchenko, Inzaghi and Crespo were integral parts of AC Milan's success in the early 2000s, adding a touch of brilliance and goal-scoring prowess to the team. Their commitment, teamwork, and sheer love for football created unforgettable memories and inspired fans worldwide.
ForzaMilan♥️♠️

Seedorf did not win the Champion’s league with Madrid in 2000, he won it in 1998. Apologies for the error

[smithswoodrookie]

I’m so proud to own a small collection of authentic match worn shirts from the likes of Shevchenko & Kaka from this time period. What an amazing squad of players & a wonderful football team who won the lot.

As a lifelong Milan fan I would like to thank you for this great video of an era I would always recall with joy despite all the unfortunate events that it had. I wish that one day you'll make a video of milan winning the long awaited 8th star ❤️🖤

[animashionsyt]

This reminded me just how scary good Kaká was during this time! He was a joy to watch, absolutely magical

[alihejjo]

This team with the help of a little game called Winning Eleven (PES) on the PS2 is what got me into football. I still reminisce over how magical their play was to watch. Truly generational.

[roycejr]

That 2005 milan team is one of the greatest line up i have ever seen

[Kinghavs]

2007 milan side won the champions league... but the 05 side was so much better

[monkeyDvang]

Milan getting Kaka for only 8 million has to be the deal of the century no?

[tommasozanin]

As a Milanista I have to say that this team generation was amazing and spectacular and for this reason we won less than expectations

[carloshadjian]

This is probably the best video about one era of AC Milan history I ever seen, thanks for this great documentary! Forza Milan

[alkalinetrio]

Glad you are keeping the AC Milan series going!! These videos are amazing.

[Idris-kuxm]

Kaka, what a player. Spinning Gerrard and playing a world-class pass in the champions league final shows his level. Uniquely talented.

[mikeamara]

Kudos mate, really enjoyed the video
