Italy- AC Milan
AC Milan is the second most successful club in the Champions League with seven titles to their name. Italy meanwhile is the third successful nation in World Cup history as they've finished as champions of the world on three occasions. Both sides last won the title in the 2006 edition, after losing out in the final in the previous occasion they reached.
The shocking similarity between the two sides though is their sharp fall from great heights after their title triumph. Both sides have been through a period of transition after the retirement of their top players and they've been struggling to cope up with it for many years now. Andrea Pirlo's departure from Milan is considered as the main reason for their fall from grace and Italy are also clearly the services of their midfield maestro.
AC Milan haven't qualified for the Champions League for many seasons now and Italy shocking missed out on qualification for this year's World Cup in Russia.
Common players: Leonardo Bonucci, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Giacomo Bonaventura, Alessio Romagnoli, Ricardo Montolivo, Manuel Locatelli,
