The team repeated their International Cup triumph the following season after defeating Benfica 1–0, then earned its second Intercontinental Cup in a row—and third overall—after beating Olimpia Asunción in 1990. Their European-winning line-up was: Giovanni Galli; Mauro Tassotti, Alessandro Costacurta, Franco Baresi, Paolo Maldini; Angelo Colombo, Frank Rijkaard, Carlo Ancelotti, Roberto Donadoni; Ruud Gullit, Marco van Basten. During this period, the team was nicknamed "Gli Immortali" ("The Immortals").
