Roberto Donadoni's autographed photo: the winger of AC Milan, European champion 1988/89

A photograph of immense historical value (29.6×20.9 cm) depicting Roberto Donadoni on the field in AC Milan's official home kit from the 1988/1989 season — the mythical season of Sacchi's first triumph in the European Cup. The Bergamasco winger is captured in a moment of play, with his curly hair blowing in the wind and a focused gaze. He is wearing the classic Milan red and black vertical striped short-sleeved kit by Kappa, featuring the famous "Mediolanum" sponsor on the chest, the tricolor Scudetto shield as reigning Italian champion — won the previous year with Sacchi in his first season — and the golden star, symbol of ten Scudetti. White shorts and white socks with black Kappa omini logos on the calves complete the Berlusconi-Kappa kit. Roberto Donadoni's original autograph is placed in black marker on the white shorts, large and perfectly legible. The Witnessed holographic sticker with serial AA21496 is applied to the bottom right.

The Champion: Roberto Donadoni

Roberto Donadoni (Cisano Bergamasco, September 9, 1963) was one of the most technical and creative attacking wingers in Italian football. Having grown up at Atalanta, he arrived at AC Milan in 1986, becoming a pillar of Sacchi's Great Milan and then Capello's, remaining with the Rossoneri for ten seasons. With Milan, he won 6 Scudetti, 3 Champions Leagues (1989, 1990, and 1994), 4 European Super Cups, and 2 Intercontinental Cups. His goal in the 1988/89 European Cup semi-final against Real Madrid (5-0) is memorable. With the Italian National team, he played in 3 World Cups (1990, 1994, 1998) and the 1996 European Championship, making 63 appearances. After retiring, he embarked on a coaching career, also managing the Italian National team from 2006 to 2008.
