Juan Alberto

Schiaffino

A charismatic star, Juan Alberto Schiaffino established himself as the great leader of Peñarol, before moving to AC Milan in 1954, thanks to his fellow countryman and former Rossonero Héctor Puricelli. Author of the first of the two shocking goals scored by Uruguay at the Maracaná stadium in the 1950 World Cup Final, he won the Serie A title 3 times with AC Milan but missed out on the 1958 European Champion Club’s Cup final against Di Stefano’s Real Madrid.
