won the domestic league

for the second year running.
None of the other Serie A teams came close to challenging Milan in the league, with new signing
Stadio San Paolo
in Naples, with van Basten scoring four goals in Serie A for the first (and only) time.
The season also saw Milan set the
Torino team.^[2] Lentini did not perform to expectations, and was considered a disappointment, especially following a car accident in 1993, from which he recovered,^[3]
but never rediscovered his form prior to the accident.
This season was also the last to feature every piece of the famous Dutch trio of
Marco Van Basten, Ruud Gullit, and Frank Rijkaard
; while the former would stay with Milan for another two years without playing due to a recurring ankle injury (and, eventually, retiring in August 1995), the latter two transferred out of Milan during post-season summer transfer window, with Gullit briefly returning for half the 1994–95 season.
