December 1st, 1989: the day Berlusconi-owned AC Milan were on top of the world. Let's relive the final vs Medellin

MATURANA AND HIGUITA AWAIT SACCHIFrancisco Maturana in the manager's seat and René Higuita in goal: these were the two main obstacles on the Rossoneri's path to the Intercontinental Cup. Arrigo Sacchi was well-aware of the big chance of giving AC Milan the second world title of their history but Atletico Nacional of Medellin were not to be underestimated. Francisco Maturana was considered an innovator with the Colombian media comparing him to Arrigo Sacchi. As per René Higuita, not only was he an acrobatic goalkeeper, he was charismatic and reactive between the sticks.
