1991–92 Serie A
During the 1991–92 Serie A, under the guidance of Fabio Capello, Milan completed a remarkable unbeaten season, a run that eventually totalled 58 games.

Defending champions Sampdoria finished sixth and their last chance of European action for the following season was lost when they were beaten by the Spanish champions Barcelona in the final of the European Cup. Bari, Hellas Verona (the 1985 champions), Cremonese and Ascoli were all relegated. Teams Foggia, Hellas Verona, Cremonese and Ascoli had been promoted from Serie B.
