The difference in points between 3rd and 4th is more significant than it looks. -- http://soccer-europe.com Rss feed : http://soccer-europe.com/RSS/News.xml

Milan did it in the 1991-1992 season, far, far, far more impressively under Capello. > That's precisely why it was notable.

The most infamous handball post Maradona was Tulio, ironically, against Argentina in a Copa America match in the 1990s. A handball in a Brazil vs Argentina match is a much bigger deal than once in a PLAY-OFF between France and Ireland. The pig's head thrown at Figo when he returned to Barca, that was considerably more noteworthy than the Henry handball. -- http://soccer-europe.com Rss feed : http://soccer-europe.com/RSS/News.xml

Milan went through the entire 91-92 season undefeated and 58 > matches in total. I did the research. Arsenal are the only team in the history of the English league to do this. In Italy, Milan did it in '92, the only time also. In Spain, it's only happened twice (A.Bilbao '30, R.Madrid '32). It's never happened in Germany or France. In net, it's happened 4 times in over 500 seasons in Europe's five biggest leagues. So I'd say it's a pretty damn big deal, maybe in the top five most notable events of the decade.
