Milan’s 2014 Viareggio Cup winning side – where are they today?

In 2014, AC Milan's Primavera side won the prestigious Viareggio Cup for the first time since 2001. The team was led by club legend Filippo Inzaghi, who went on to become the manager of the first team.

The Rossoneri, along with Juventus, Fiorentina and Inter, were the seeded teams. This allowed them to skip the group stage, starting the tournament from the Round of 16. Inzaghi's side defeated Rijeka, Envigado, Fiorentina and then Anderlecht in the final.

The final ended 1-1 after full-time, which brought the clash to extra-time. Milan ended up scoring two goals to seal the deal, becoming the champions and lifting the trophy shortly thereafter. However, where are the players today? Milanlive.it takes a look…
