The big match between Milan-Juventus has always been an impressive display of stars. The season 2001-2002 was no less so: the Rossoneri, which were living a difficult period, had just replaced the Turkish coach Fatih Terim with Carlo Ancelotti, who would have brought so many trophies to his side in the following years. The framework of the great Milan was starting to form with Gennaro Gattuso, Rui Costa, Andriy Ševčenko and, obviously, the immortal Paolo Maldini.

Juventus, that won Serie A in that season, was among the strongest sides in Europe. In the calciomercato the La Vecchia Signora spent an immense amount to sign Gianluigi Buffon, Lilian Thuram, Pavel Nedved and Marcelo Salas. An economic effort that bore fruits: the 26th Scudetto.

That 9th of December, the two sides drew 1-1 but Milan fans still remember the astonishing opener by Ševčenko, who threw an authentic rocket from an impossible position. Describing such a goal is useless: watch it with your eyes!
