  1. I dream of watching the full match, the San Siro stadium is full of fans, the best period for the Italian teams, especially the great Milan, in every position there is the best player in the world, please publish the full match.

  2. Sinceramente pra mim o holandês van Basten foi um dos dez maiores e melhores jogadores de todos os tempo da história do futebol mundial si existisse a maior e melhor seleção de todos os tempos pra mim ele seria um dos atacantes titular absoluto do time com certeza merecidamente craque gênio inexplicável completo completo completo Ass Vanderlei Xavier de oliveira Junqueirópolis sp

  3. …and two out of the four goals are ridiculous. The bicycle kick, obviously, and the first goal where he's literally falling down and scores with his left. I know a perfect hat trick is scoring with the right, left and a header. But maybe some special consideration for scoring with the right, left and a bicycle kick?

  4. This was basically his last professional game, as he got his second carreer-threatening injury a couple of days later during training. He was of course the UCL's topscorer at the time and had scored something like 13 goals in 12 serie A games since the start of the season, a rate that was just unimaginable in the defensive bunker that was mid-90's serie A. Plainly, he was at the peak of a legendary career, he was at his absolute best. He tried an early come back from injury 6 months later, for the last game of a serie A season Milan had already won hands down, scoring a header. He then played a few minutes in the unfortunate CL final against Marseille. Then he got injured again and never returned on the field again, officially announcing his retirement in a grey autumn day of 1995. This game, ladies and gentlemen, is the swan song of the Swan of Utrecht, the greatest center-forward to have ever lived.
