In the 2013–14 season, Associazione Calcio Milan competed in Serie A for the 80th time, as well as the Coppa Italia and the UEFA Champions League. It was the club's 31st consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football.
By early 2014, it was clear that Milan were performing exceptionally poorly, prompting manager Massimiliano Allegri to be replaced by Clarence Seedorf in mid-January.
That same month, Milan was eliminated from the Coppa Italia in the quarter-finals (their second match of the tournament) by Udinese.
By February, Milan found themselves as low as 11th place in Serie A. They finished the season in 8th, failing to qualify to either the Champions League or Europa League for the following season for the first time in fifteen years.
In the Champions League, Milan secured a place in the group stage after defeating PSV Eindhoven in the play-off round 4–1 on aggregate. On 11 December 2013, Milan qualified for the knockout stage of the competition after playing to a 0–0 draw against Ajax, securing second place in the group behind leaders Barcelona. The Rossoneri were then matched in the round of 16 against Atlético Madrid, who defeated Milan 1–0 at the San Siro and 4–1 in Madrid, advancing 5–1 on aggregate. This continued Milan's run of never eliminating a Spanish club in the knockout phase of the competition since its refurbishment in 1992.
