How many Champions League titles have AC Milan won?
AC Milan is the most successful Italian team in the UCL.
The Rossoneris have the best record in European titles among Italian clubs.
AC Milan is once again searching for European glory as they face rivals Inter in the Champions League semi-finals. The first leg saw them getting thumped 2-0 by their rivals Inter with Milan looking out of form during the match. The Rossoneri managed to win the Serie A title in a decade last season, but their fans will be dreaming of winning the best trophy in European club football.
The winner will face either Manchester City or defending champions Real Madrid in the final in Istanbul, Turkey on June 10. City will play Madrid in Manchester on Wednesday in their second leg, after a 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu. AC Milan faces a tough task to overturn a two-goal deficit against Inter Milan in the second leg of their cross-city Champions League semifinal clash on Tuesday evening, although the Rossoneri look set to welcome back star player Rafael Leao after injury.
Stefano Pioli has helped Milan return to winning ways in recent seasons. However, they are not having their best season in domestic terms being fifth in the Serie A on the verge of not qualifying for the Champions League next season. They have also crashed out of the Supercoppa Italiana and the Coppa Italia both with losses against their city rivals.

Their first triumph came back in 1963, while their most recent win came in 2007. Milan also beat Barcelona in the final of the first rebranded Champions League in 1994.
