Summary The summer of 1985 saw the purchase from Juventus of the world champion and 1982 Ballon d'Or Paolo Rossi, who formed an attacking trident with Virdis and Hateley. On a corporate level, the 1985–86 season was troubled for Milan: in December, president Giuseppe "Giussi" Farina, following the elimination in the round of 16 of the UEFA Cup at the hands of the Belgians of Waregem, suffered a harsh dispute from the fans. With the arrival of the new year, the company is overloaded with debts and risks bankruptcy if they are not repaid.

Milan then suffered a performance drop (obtaining one point in five games) and missed out on a place in the UEFA Cup by finishing in seventh place, one point behind Inter. In the Coppa Italia, Milan got through the first round finishing their group in second place with 7 points thanks to victories against Cagliari, Reggiana and Arezzo, a draw with Genoa and a defeat against Udinese, group winners with a 3-point lead on the Rossoneri. In the round of 16, Milan faced Empoli who eliminated Milan thanks to a 1–0 victory in Tuscany and a 1–1 draw in Milan. In the UEFA Cup, the Rossoneri beat the French side of Auxerre in the round of 64 (1–3 defeat in Auxerre and 3–0 win in Milan) and the East Germans of Lokomotive Leipzig in the round of 32 (with a 2–0 win in Milan and a 1–3 defeat in Leipzig, Milan qualified on the away goals rule). In the round of 16 Milan faced the Belgians of Waregem who eliminated the Rossoneri, drawing 1–1 at home and winning in with a comeback at San Siro (2–1 the final score). In this match, the first goal of the Belgians, that of the 1–1, originated from a disputed penalty that will trigger the violent reactions of the AC Milan fans, following which the club will be punished with two matches of disqualification from playing in the San Siro in the European cups.https://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/1985/12/13/ora-la-squalifica-forse-due-giornate.html E ora la squalifica (forse due giornate) repubblica.it it 23 May 2023 Between May and June 1986 the Lega Nazionale Professionisti organized the Torneo Estivo, in which Milan were beaten by Udinese and Torino and drew with Lecce, closing their group in third place with only one point and thus being eliminated from the competition.
