Daniele Massaro

Daniele Emilio Massaro (Italian pronunciation: [daˈnjɛːle masˈsaːro]; born 23 May 1961) is an Italian former professional footballer who played as a forward.

Throughout his career, Massaro played for several Italian clubs, including Monza, Fiorentina, AC Milan, and Roma, before ending his career in Japan with Shimizu S-Pulse. He is mainly remembered for his highly successful career with AC Milan during the late 1980s and 1990s, under managers Arrigo Sacchi and Fabio Capello, with whom he went on to achieve notable domestic, European, and international success. He won four Serie A titles and two European Cup/UEFA Champions League titles with Milan, among other trophies, notably scoring twice in Milan's 4–0 win over Barcelona in the 1994 Champions League final.

Massaro won 15 caps at the international level, making his debut in 1982, and was also a member of the Italy national team that won the World Cup that year, although he did not make an appearance in the tournament. He was also a member of the team that reached the final of the 1994 FIFA World Cup, scoring a goal during the tournament, his only international goal, in Italy's last group match against Mexico; in the final, his last international appearance, he missed one of Italy's penalties in the resulting shoot-out, as Brazil went on to lift the trophy.
