Speaking to the AC Milan official channel, Andrea Pirlo, the legendary Italian midfielder, discussed at length his story with the Rossoneri where he won everything.

I still remember the emotion of arriving at Old Trafford with all the fans… I think it was the most emotional match, especially because we were just starting that golden era.”
Pirlo, is there a particular memory that comes to mind?
“What comes to mind is how good we had it during those ten years, it was a pleasure to meet every day, go to the training ground, be together. Nothing felt like a burden, and maybe that was our strength: staying together for so many years with more or less the same players, we had created something special among us.

Pirlo: “10 beautifull years spent at Milan. I would have stayed, but…”
