2005–06 A.C. Milan season


In 2005–06 season Associazione Calcio Milan had a rather modest season compared to its previous seasons, before being rocked by a minor involvement in the 2006 Italian football scandal, where rivals Juventus was relegated and stripped of two league titles. Due to Milan's involvement, it did not inherit either of the titles, instead being penalised and dropped down the 2006 order, initially out of European football but later reinstated into fourth, which meant UEFA Champions League qualification, a tournament Milan then went on to win. However, Milan started the 2006–07 Serie A season with an eight-point deduction, which complicated hopes of a new league title.
On the pitch, Milan was not able to challenge Juventus for the virtual league title, then going out against Barcelona in the Champions League.
Following the season, the club sold Andriy Shevchenko for €40 million, the highest fee paid for a player turning 30 in the same year, to English club Chelsea.
