Last Saturday was a momentous day in AC Milan's history. In the evening, they defeated reigning Italian champions Juventus 1-0 at the San Siro in front of a sell-out crowd thanks to a stunning strike from 18-year-old playmaker Manuel Locatelli and a late save by 17-year-old goalkeeping sensation Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The victory was Milan's first over Juventus in almost four years and seemed to symbolise a new era for the club, as discussed in this recent post. But before the match got underway to herald the possibility of an exciting future, tribute was paid to an integral member of the club's past.
