Three-tier display, legends honoured – the plans for 125th anniversary game vs. Genoa

More details are continuing to emerge regarding AC Milan’s plans for their 125th anniversary celebration game against Genoa.

There are a number of different things planned to celebrate the fact that Milan will rack up a century-and-a-quarter of existence in December, which we have detailed in a previous article.

As MilanNews write, the next home league game will be special for Milan as it will be the one that celebrates the club’s 125th anniversary. It comes against Genoa, who with Mario Balotelli and the new coach Patrick Vieira also have some red and black connections.

One of the main spectacles will be the three-tier display that the fans will take part in before kick-off. Co-ordinated by the club, supporters will hold things up that form an image that covers the entire stadium, but details of the design are unknown.

Several special guests are expected such as Marco van Basten, Ruud Gullit and Frank Rijkaard. The three Dutchman will return together to San Siro for the first time in several years, along with the likes of Clarence Seedorf, Pippo Inzaghi and Alexandre Pato.

Some players from the previous glory days will be present as well with Mauro Tassotti, Filippo Galli, Roberto Donadoni, Billy Costacurta, Serginho, Gianluca Zambrotta and others confirmed to be in attendance.
