The former defender played with the Dutchman in the Milan-Gothenburg 4-0: “It was 1992, Nordahl was also there to applaud him. I have never admired a player of his elegance again”
N ovember 1992, the 25th, to be precise. Marco van Basten scores four goals, one with a semi-reverse kick, in Milan’s 4-0 win over Goteborg at San Siro. It is a record in the almost new Champions League. Above all, it is one of the last matches of the Dutch striker who marked an era in the memory of the Rossoneri fans and beyond. Also on the pitch was Mauro Tassotti, 17 years at Milan and with such a long list of successes. Mauro is still a great friend of Van Basten. They are seen every now and then on the golf courses.
