Summary
[edit]The transfer market was once again aimed at strengthening the squad. Reinforcements Pietro Grosso and Amleto Frignani arrived, with the team still led by coach Lajos Czeizler and technical director Antonio Busini. Thanks to a high-level attack, Milan's game was set up with a strong imbalance towards the offensive game. In fact, many were the games ended up with multiple goals by the Rossoneri: examples of these were the 4-0 and 5-0 against Lucchese, the 5-1 against Pro Patria, the 4-0 and 6-0 against Torino, the 4-0 against Bologna, the 4-1 against Legnano, 6-2 against Novara and 4-0 against Palermo.
In the 1951-1952 Serie A season, Milan (that in this season displayed the scudetto emblem on their shirts for the first time in their history) finished second behind Juventus after fighting with them for the title throughout the first half of the season. In the second half of it, Milan gave up in the chase also following the defeat in the head-to-head match and ended the tournament in second place, 7 points behind Juventus.
Gunnar Nordahl scored 26 goals and was the top-scorer of the club, and the second overall in the Serie A season.
