2006–07 A.C. Milan season

The 2006–07 season has had its ups and downs for Milan. Having started the season with an 8-point penalty due to the Italian football scandal, a bad run of results where Milan failed to win for 9 matches in a row left them in a lowly 15th place on only 11 points. After two consecutive losses against Atalanta and Roma, Milan had a streak of seven consecutive matches without defeat. Two wins against Catania and Udinese left Milan only 6 points behind fourth place and qualification for the Champions League. Milan eventually finished fourth in the league, behind Lazio. After showing a bad physical condition throughout most of the autumn, the team took a January retreat in Malta, to regain condition and try to achieve a fourth-place finish in Serie A and further progression in the Champions League.

Milan's performances in the Champions League were a different story. Drawn in a group described as easy by some pundits, with AEK Athens, Lille and Anderlecht, Milan comfortably won the group. Milan eventually won the Champions League, overcoming Celtic in the round of 16, Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals, Manchester United in the semi-finals and Liverpool in the final. Kaká was in strong form for Milan in the Champions League, scoring 10 goals in 12 matches and winning that year's Champions League Golden Boot.
