AC Milan 2000/01 player shirt by Adidas believed to have been prepared for Comandini for the Champions League 2nd Group Stage Group B match against Paris Saint-Germain played at Parc des Princes on the 20th February 2001.
Due to UEFA regulations on sponsorship which stated that two teams could not play against each other wearing the same sponsors logo Milan had to switch from having Opel on their shirts to this Corsa logo due to PSG also being sponsored by the General Motors subsidiary.
The Rossoneri had topped their first group ahead of Leeds and Barcelona to reach this stage and now the pressure was on having drawn two of their opening three matches in this round. The two sides had drawn 1-1 in Milan and the scoreline would be a repeat here in Paris but Alberto Zaccheroni's were much the happier with the point after scoring a late, late equaliser through José Mari.
