Season summary

The summer of 1987 brought several notable players into the Italian championship: Vincenzo Scifo (for Internazionale), Ian Rush (Juventus), Ruud Gullit and Marco van Basten (Milan).[1] The reigning champions Napoli started well leading the league after five matches.[2] Inter and Juventus had several issues.[3]

Napoli retained top-place in autumn and winter, suffering only one defeat in the first 20 games.[4][5][6] In March Napoli began to struggle, and ultimately only won 2 of the 10 remaining fixtures. Milan who had been in second place for much of the season were able to reduce the points deficit with a prolonged undefeated run.[7][8] Their head-to-head match, played on 1 May 1988, ended in a 3–2 win for Milan putting them 1 point ahead in the title race with two games remaining to play.[9] Milan drew their final games, but Napoli did worse, losing both matches.[10] It led to Milan's 11th title and its first since 1979.[11] This season was the last with 16 teams playing, as two relegations and four promotions from Serie B meant that from 1988–89 there would be 18 clubs in the top flight.
