These are the only two matches between these two great clubs during their seasons together. They were subsequently joined by Milan in the 2004-05 UEFA Champions League, when they took part in the qualifying phase and final tournament of that season's competition. They were eliminated by Liverpool in the quarter-finals after a 1-1 draw at home and a 3-1 defeat on Merseyside. The two teams ended their collaborations with each other at the end of the 2005-06 season, when Juventus signed Zlatan Ibrahimović from Ajax. The Swedish striker was instrumental in helping his new club to three consecutive Italian title wins from 2006 to 2008. Meanwhile, Milan failed to win any trophy under José Mourinho, despite being crowned Italian champions for the second time in three years. The Portuguese manager had succeeded Carlo Ancelotti at Milan and led them to the European Cup in 2003 and the Coppa Italia in 2004.
