Was March 14, 1954 an important victory for Milan? One might have thought so on paper, but on that day Atalanta, which ended its championship in tenth place, found a very important success, against a team that could boast two champions like Nordahl and Nils Liedholm among its ranks. By contrast, the Rossoneri’s lineup would be, on balance, third in the final standings, in a championship won by Inter’s cousins.
On the net are, of this match, also available some snapshots, which can be traced mainly on a couple of blogs specialized in the affairs of the two teams. The match, for the mere record, ended 3-1 for Dea, who scored with another Nordic and Villa, who completed Rasmussen’s double (precisely). The Dane himself, at the end of the season, will have an impressive figure in terms of goals scored: 15 total goals in 33 appearances. Not bad for a midfielder. To get to those numbers, in the Nerazzurri and in Serie A, we will have to wait for Papu Gomez, who also was a centre-forward…
