The event of May 30 is a sort of second leg solidarity match like the Trofeo Telecom Italia for the Sla fight, which took place on September 7 2009, where the Milan Glories and Real Madrid Veteranos took part. It was a night of stars and great names, all for Stefano Borgonovo, guest of honour, who went on the pitch amongst the applauses of the people and the friends' embraces, accompanied by Paolo Maldini. The captain took him to the middle of the pitch to allow him to feel the warmth of everyone in a stadium which was just for him.
The match saw the Rossoneri (Arrigo Sacchi on the bench) win 2-0, with the goals of Marco Simone and Diego Fuser, amongst many champions who returned to play for Borgonovo and his family. Amongst others, with the Rossoneri there were Franco Baresi, Mauro Tassotti, Angelo Colombo, Billy Costacurta, Gigi Lentini, Zvonimir Boban, Marco Simone, Filippo and Giovanni Galli, Maurizio Ganz and then them: Marco Van Basten, celebrated by the entire stadium, and George Weah. On the stands also the Milan coach Leonardo, with the general manager Adriano Galliani. For Real: Butragueno, Llorente, Buyo, Sanchis, Gallego and many others. Great referee: Pierluigi Collina who wanted to take part.
