AC Milan v KF Shkendija 79 - UEFA Europa League Qualifying Play-Offs Round: First Leg — Milan have an impressive squad this time

AC Milan are traditionally-speaking, the most successful Italian side in Europe competitions. The stats back-up this claim, as Milan have won the UEFA Champions League 7 times throughout history, which means more times than Internazionale (3) and Juventus (2) combined.

In recent years, San Siro's ship seemed to have sank with the Rossonero failing to win the league since 2011, and not qualifying for the Champions League since 2013. However, this season could mark the return of Il Diavolo.

With new mega-rich Chinese owners, Milan have already entered the transfer window in style, having purchased a contingent of stars such as Leonardo Bonucci, Andrea Conti, Ricardo Rodriguez, Mateo Musacchio, Lucas Biglia, Franck Kessié, Hakan Calhanoglu, André Silva and Nikola Kalinic. Milan look set to retrieve their spot in Europe's elite competition, and could possibly surprise many by challenging for the Serie A title.
