AC Milan, one of the most decorated football clubs of the 20th century according to FIFA, remains a major force in both Italian and European football. In the 2021–22 season, the Rossoneri claimed their 19th Serie A title — their first league trophy in nearly a decade. Yet despite seven European Cup/Champions League titles — the last won in 2006–07 — Milan has not lifted the continent’s premier club trophy in over 16 years. If you believe the club is poised for a continental resurgence, place sports bets online.
Fans held cautious optimism entering the 2020s: beyond the 2021–22 Scudetto, Milan won the 2024 Supercoppa Italiana and reached the semi-finals of the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League. To enjoy football action while awaiting new tournaments, try the 1xBet app for iPhone.
