1993–94 Serie A The 1993–94 Serie A was won by Milan, being the 14th title for the "rossoneri" and their third in succession, complemented by glory in the UEFA Champions League.

Piacenza, Udinese, Atlanta and Lecce were all relegated. A.C. Milan's visit to struggling Reggiana at San Siro on 1 May 1994 came on a day when the sporting world was overshadowed with the death of racing driver Ayrton Senna in the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, but the football world was focused on AC Milan's attempts to seal a 14th scudetto title. It was a narrow 0–1 defeat for Reggiana, with a goal from Massimiliano Esposito, but enough to seal the "Scudetto".
