A.C. Milan was a reliable force just under the top teams in Serie A, finishing in fifth position. It had the ability to win matches without impressing, having a goal difference of just +6, despite finishing in 5th place. The position was just enough to clinch a UEFA Cup spot, despite losing the Coppa Italia final to Sampdoria.

gollark: No, I mean people would have to get used to the new profile picture.
gollark: That would ruin my brand.
gollark: What do you want me to do, alter the colors?
gollark: It is CLEARLY hyperbolic geometry, yes.
gollark: This is NOT true. I have not in any way been sponsored by pizza companies. There have been no advertising agreements whatsoever with any companies producing pizza or otherwise to have me subliminally advertise pizza, as my profile picture is not a pizza. Since it is not a pizza, this is obviously not pizza advertisement whatsoever. No monetary exchanges or otherwise have occurred with companies engaged in pizza production for any reason relating to my profile picture. You are clearly engaged in libel and attempting to discredit my non-pizza-advertising status. It is IN NO WAY subliminal pizza advertising because I DO NOT work for pizza companies in any form. It's not pizza. There were no deals, under-the-table or otherwise, with pizza companies. No pizza companies pay for any kind of subliminal advertising involving me. People make that mistake, but I am not working for pizza companies doing subliminal advertising; that is not in any way what I am doing. I am NOT being sponsored by ANY pizza companies to display subliminal pizza advertising OF ANY KIND.
