History of the Italian League - Serie A
The Serie A league was launched for the first time in the late nineteenth century, specifically in 1898, and the Genoa team succeeded in winning the first Serie A league title and then dominating the competition in the first seven seasons, where it won the title six times and left a single title for AC Milan.
The second decade of the twentieth century witnessed the emergence of the Pro Vercelli team, which also managed to win the Italian League title five times, before the competitions in the league - Serie A - were stopped due to the reasons of the First World War, and sports competitions did not return in the country until 1919.
The post-war period saw a fierce rivalry between Genoa and Pro Vercelli, who were considered the two most prominent teams in the Italian league during that period, but their dominance of the Serie A titles ended in 1924, which gradually saw the beginning of the real features of the league's true giants.
Between 1925 and 1935, Juventus announced its strong arrival to compete for the Italian League titles - Serie A continuously, and during those ten seasons it succeeded in winning 6 titles. After 1935, Bologna team shone brightly and was able to win the league title 4 times until 1942, during which sports activity was suspended due to World War II this time.
The sporting activity stopped for only two years, then the Italian League returned in 1945, and with its return began the era of dominance of the second pole of the city of Turin, which is the Torino team, which won the title 4 times in a row, knowing that it was the last champion in the season before the stoppage, to win five consecutive titles that still live in the history of this club.
The fifties and sixties witnessed a major three-way struggle between Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan, who took turns winning the Italian League - Serie A titles over two decades, and many seasons did not escape them, and there were no real big differences between them, but the differences began to appear significantly in the seventies.
The 1970s saw a significant decline in the level of Inter Milan and AC Milan in the Serie A league, while Juventus managed to maintain its stability and dominated Italian football for 15 seasons, during which it succeeded in winning the Italian Serie A league title 9 times, while the two Milan clubs won only one title each during this period.
In the mid-eighties, the Argentine legend Diego Armando Maradona reached the Serie A league through the gate of the Napoli team, and he succeeded in leading them during the 6 seasons in which he played for the team to win two historic titles at the Serie A level, in light of the presence of the league giants at the top of their level.
The nineties witnessed a fierce competition between Juventus and AC Milan, with the latter being the superior team, which managed to win the Serie A title 5 times during that decade, compared to three for the Old Lady, which ended the twentieth century as the team with the most Serie A titles at the time, with 25 titles!
The modern millennium in Serie A has witnessed many famous and controversial events on the pitch in the midst of fierce competition between clubs, and off the pitch in the courts that have brought down some of the big heads in Italian football, which emerged strongly in 2006 through the famous Calciopoli scandal, on the basis of which Juventus were relegated to the second division, and two titles were taken away and given to Inter Milan, which ended the first decade of the current century with 5 league titles.
Juventus returned to the league - Serie A, and all they wanted was to strike back, and they actually succeeded in imposing a historic dominance over the Italian league starting from 2012 until 2020, as the club was crowned with nine consecutive titles, a record that no team had ever reached at the level of league competitions

Best Serie A Clubs
Juventus might be thought to be the greatest Italian club ever when looking at the Serie A statistics alone, but these beliefs might change dramatically if we look at the achievements of Italian clubs in continental tournaments, and the Champions League in particular. Let's get to know together the most important clubs in the Italian Serie A and their achievements in local football on the one hand and continental football on the other.
Juventus
Juventus, nicknamed “The Old Lady”, is the historical champion of the Italian League, as we mentioned earlier, thanks to the 36 Italian League titles - Serie A, which it has won throughout its long history in local competition. Juventus is also one of the most important Italian clubs in European competitions, but on the one hand it is considered the least fortunate team in the history of the Champions League.
Juventus have reached the Champions League final 9 times throughout their history, but lost 7 of them and have only managed to win the title twice, the last of which was in 1996. Since that title, Juventus have played in the Champions League final 5 times and lost all of them to Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Barcelona and Real Madrid, respectively!
However, Juventus is one of three Italian clubs that have won the Champions League, and has contributed to two of the 12 titles that Italian football has won in the most prestigious European cup. So, which Italian club is the most successful in European competitions?
AC Milan
Despite being far behind Juventus in Serie A titles, AC Milan has built a real history in the Champions League, which the Lombard club has won 7 times, making it the Italian team that has won the most prestigious European trophy and the second most crowned in the title overall, behind Real Madrid, which has won 14 titles.
AC Milan succeeded in imposing a historical dominance at the level of European competitions, starting from the mid-eighties until the middle of the first decade of the modern millennium, and succeeded in winning the title 6 times in 20 years, which gave the club a special status at the level of the European Champions League.
AC Milan has been absent from the European scene since its last title in 2007, but it remains the most successful Italian team with the strongest history in continental championships. Milan's historical achievements have been linked to heavyweight coaches, starting with Errigo Sacchi, who started Milan's historic revolution. The team was later coached by Fabio Capello and Carlo Ancelotti, who all succeeded in winning the Champions League title with the team.
Inter Milan
The second club of the charming city of Milan and the third pole of the major Italian League - Serie A clubs is the Italian club Inter Milan, which succeeded, thanks to the titles it achieved in the modern millennium in the League - Serie A, in making up for the difference in local championships at the league level with its rival AC Milan, and it is equal to it with 19 titles in the Italian League - Serie A, but the difference between the two poles of Milan lies at the level of the European championship.
Inter Milan have won three Champions League titles, more than Juventus, but four behind Milan. Inter Milan are the last Italian team to win the Champions League, dating back to 2010 when Jose Mourinho led the Blues to victory against Bayern Munich in Madrid .
Inter Milan is the only club that has never been absent from the league - Serie A, as it has succeeded in remaining among the first division teams since the league was first launched in 1898 until today, but it remains in the shadow of the fact that Juventus is the historical champion at the level of the Italian league - Serie A, while its rival AC Milan is considered the master of Italian clubs at the level of European participation.
Other clubs in Serie A
Serie A has many other notable clubs apart from the big three, perhaps the most notable of which is Genoa, who dominated the competition in the early days of Serie A. We also cannot forget Torino and Pro Vercelli, who have won the Italian Serie A title several times, and Napoli, Roma and Lazio, who have not been lucky enough to win many titles, but have managed to remain among the top ranks over the past few years.
