Milan (double European Cup winners) fielded Gullit, Rijkaard and van Basten. Inter Milan had the World Cup winning trio of Klinsmann, Matthaus, Brehme. Juventus bought Roberto Baggio that summer. But it was the Sampdoria of Vialli and Manchini that won the Scudetto

£#%&! yes.

and to think back in the day you could watch these games on Channel 4...

goooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaallllll aaaaaaaaarrrsseeehoooolleeeeee

The back story to this game is that loads of Napoli fans had put bets on Napoli to win the league in 88 with thw camorra. They would have lost about £5m if Napoli had won the league.

In the week leading up the game it's alleged that the camorra threatened all of Napoli's Italian players to go easy. Maradona and Careca were not threatened, but Milan won and went on to win the league.
