One autumn Sunday in 1972, when 0-0 was considered the perfect result and our heroes were the ones defending, thanks also to Atalanta’s complicity, Paron’s Milan decided to go against the rules. And the result was a record-breaking 9-3
The event was considered extraordinary, an affair that fell within the realm of the impossible, because it had occurred in Italy, which has always been the home of the bolt and all-out defense. Twelve goals in a single Serie A match. Never seen before. Absolute record, and still unbeaten. If they had told the people who were walking towards the San Siro stadium on that afternoon of Sunday 15 October 1972 what they had witnessed, the response would have been a raspberry.
