Bournemouth hosted AC Milan in the Europa League at the Vitality Stadium, bringing the two clubs together for a meeting with a special connection.
Bournemouth’s iconic red-and-black stripes were inspired by Milan, who won the European Cup in 1969. Before the 1970-71 season, manager John Bond and chairman Harold Walker introduced the design after a difficult period that saw the club drop into the Fourth Division.
More than 50 years later, Bournemouth faced their kit inspiration in European competition and came away with a 3-0 victory over the Rossoneri.
