Memorable European Confrontations, Part 15-1995 AC Milan vs. Paris St Germain


AC Milan and Paris St Germain were paired in the Semifinals of the 1994/95 Champions League.
The Defending Champions AC Milan, managed by Fabio Capello, boasted such Italian stars like Franco Baresi, Paolo Maldini, Roberto Donadoni, as well as foreign stars such as Yugoslavia’s Dejan Savicevic, Croatian Zvonimir Boban and Frenchman Marcel Desailly.
They had qualified with great difficulty from their opening Group that was won by Ajax Amsterdam. They had regained their form as the season had progressed and had eliminated Benfica in the Quarterfinals.
They were lagging behind in the League to Juventus due to their poor start and their only hope of silverware was the Champions League.

Paris St Germain were also off the pace in their respective League to a young and rampant Nantes side.
The Manager was former midfielder Luis Fernandez, who had done well managing Cannes and was relishing the challenge of a bigger club with ambitions.
The team was spearheaded by Liberian striker George Weah and contained other stars such as Brazilian trio of Ricardo, Valdo and Rai.
The French contingent included Internationals such as Alain Roche, Paul Le Guen, Vincent Guerin and David Ginola.
They had been impressive in the competition up to that point. They had won every match in their opening group that contained Bayern Munich, Spartak Moscow and Dinamo Kiev.
In the Quarterfinals, they had defeated the mighty Barcelona of Johann Cruyff.

The first leg, on April 5th, was played in Paris’ Parc des Princes Stadium.
PSG were missing Brazilian midfielder Valdo and Patrick Colleter in defense.
Francis Llacer deputized Colleter in defense.

AC Milan were in full force and were a more compact unit and held PSG at bay.
They were more confident and the Milan defense were rarely threatened by Weah and Ginola.

After 15 minutes, Luis Fernandez changed tactics, Llacer was moved to the right to cover Simone and Cobos was moved to the left to cover Savicevic.
PSG started to play better after this re-organization and started threatening the Milan goal.
PSG started to threaten more in the second half with Ginola in more inspired form.
Costacurta was booked in the 75th minute and was thus suspended for the second leg.
In injury time , Massaro passed to Savicevic  on the left side who in turn supplied Boban to score the winner on a a breakaway goal after absorbing all of PSG’s pressure.
