During the 1905–06 season Milan Foot-Ball and Cricket Club competed in the Italian Football Championship, the FGNI Tournament and the Palla Dapples.

Summary

[edit]
A Milan formation in the 1905-06 season.

The 1905–06 season began with a change of playing field, as the club moved from the Campo Acquabella to the Campo Milan in Porta Monforte. Furthermore, the presence of English players is reduced in favor of Italian athletes: the only British player left was founder Herbert Kilpin. Next to this, the activity of the cricket section ceased its operations, but despite this, the historical name of Milan Foot-Ball and Cricket Club was preserved.

This season, Milan won the second Italian Championship in their history, to which were added the three victories in the Palla Dapples and once again in the FGNI Tournament, two tournaments of comparable importance to that of the championship. Added to these triumphs was also the victory of the reserve team in the Seconda Categoria championship (an equivalent of the second division at the time).[1]

The season in the Italian Championship showcased the first instance of the rivalry between Milan and Juventus. The two clubs faced each other two times in the final round of the competition, sharing the stage with one win each (2-1 for Juventus in Turin and 1-0 for Milan at home). They ended the final standings on equal points, five each, thus requiring a tie-breaker to determine the winner of the competition. The first game, played in Turin, ended with a goalless draw after the extra time. The Federation decided that the repetition of the play-off would be played on a neutral pitch rather than at the Velodrome Humbert I in Turin, because Juventus had already benefited from the right to play the previous match at home, and the dispute of two consecutive home games was not allowed. The choice fell on the US Milanese pitch in via Comasina 6, in Milan.[2] This triggered the protests of Juventus management, that formally stated that this decision violated the concept of neutrality of the pitch, bringing as arguments the facts that this required a longer trip for the Turin players, and that Milan would have received a stronger support from the Milanese crowd.[3] These arguments were ignored by the Federation, which decided to keep the location of the game as defined. Juventus forfeited the game, thus giving the victory to Milan by 2-0, with the latter winning the title.
