MILAN – It’s time for #WisdomWednesday once again, the day we delve back through the Nerazzurri history books to uncover lost pearls of wisdom.

"After the 1998 World Cup it was decided to give Ronaldo the No.9 Jersey. Sandro Mazzola suggested I pick two numbers that added up to nine. I asked if I could add a plus sign and we put in a request to the Italian FA. That’s how I ended up with that strange number everyone remembers."
