1949 - 1955

The arrival of Nordhal, top goal scorer of the 1949/50 season with 35 goals, marked the beginning of a new era. Milan was strengthened by the arrival of the great goalkeeper Buffon, and another two Swedes joined the team to make up the famous “Gre-No-Li” (Gren – Nordahl – Liedholm). In the 1950/51 season, Milan won its fourth Scudetto and the Coppa Latina as well. In 1952/53, 1953/54 and 1954/55 Nordhal, captain of the team, was the leading goal scorer and led the team to their fifth Scudetto. In 1954 Juan Alberto Schiaffino, nicknamed “Pepe”, was bought from Penarol and became one of the main protagonists of the following years.
