While on paper the team was no doubt exceptional, were Milan fans happy with the trophy haul or not? I wasnt alive back then, but i feel as if it was an underachievement?

2 UCL and a Scudetto is very good, but the manner of UCL exits (deportivo, istanbul, shevchenko disallowed goal) + calciopoli effectively ruining Serie A for Milan 2004 to 2007, means that the team arguably never peaked as high as it could?

Wasnt alive back then, but what happened? 1987 to 1996 the team was arguabpy the greatest ever. Yet came 11th and 10th in back to back season, once 6 points off relegation.

The team looked very good (on paper at least), and Capello and Sacchi both returning would have surely been a turning point, yet things remained bad for 2 full seasons.
