Summary The 1955–1956 season saw Milan involved in three tournaments. In the league, the club finished second in the standings, behind Fiorentina who dominated the season. At the end of the tournament there were 12 points between the Tuscans and Milan. Gunnar Nordahl was once again the top scorer of the club, but this time his 23 goals were not enough to conquer the Serie A top scorers' title. In the European Cup, at its first edition, the club reached the semi-finals after victories against Saarbrücken in the round of 16 and Rapid Vienna in the quarter-finals, with aggregates of 7-5 and 8-3 respectively. In the semifinals, Milan faced Spanish Champions Real Madrid. In the first leg, played on Iberian soil, Los Blancos prevailed and won 4–2. In the return match, the 2–1 victory by the Devils was not enough to turn the tide in the aggregate. In June 1956, the penultimate edition of the Latin Cup took place in Milan: the club won the trophy for the second time in four participations. In the semi-final, Benfica was beaten 4-2 and in the final Athletic Bilbao was defeated 3-1 thanks to goals from debutant Osvaldo Bagnoli, newcomer Giorgio Dal Monte and Juan Alberto Schiaffino. At the end of the season, Nordahl, after 268 appearances and 221 goals (club record), two Scudetti, two Latin Cups and five Serie A top scorer titles (a record in Italian championships), left Milan and moved to Roma.
