#5 AC Milan’s 58 games unbeaten run between 1991-93 (highest in the top 5 European leagues)
If you are an Arsenal fan, you would want to look away since we are ready to take some sheen away from your status as “The Invincibles”.
When Fabio Capello was brought in to replace the legendary Arrigo Sacchi, AC Milan were fairly successful. Yet their ageing superstars were termed as a threat to their continued dominance in the future, especially with the club unwilling to dip into their transfer reserves. What followed was a domination unheard of amongst the top five European leagues as the Italian manager led his side to an invincible 58 consecutive league wins from 1991 to 1993.
The side’s unbeaten streak was threatened on numerous occasions, but they showed character and grit to come back from behind several times to help establish themselves as one of the most dominant teams to have plied their trade in the Serie A.
While their streak ended in March 1993, when Parma beat them by a solitary goal courtesy of a Faustino Asprilla strike, it did not deter the Milan club from winning the title. It could be said that the foundations for a dominant Milan side that dominated world football were largely laid down by the legendary Fabio Capello during his time at the club.
