In the 80s and 90s of the 20th century, three outstanding Dutch men's footballers emerged in world football: central striker Marco van Basten, attacking midfielder Ruud Gullit and midfielder Frank Rijkaard. These three talented players are known as the "Three Musketeers of the Netherlands".
Between 1988 and 1993, the Dutch trio met at AC Milan in the Italian Serie A. Their arrival has given AC Milan a huge boost and they have quickly become the dominant players in European football. During this time, the Dutch trio won three Italian Serie A titles, two Toyota cups and two European Champions Cups. In the 1992-93 season, they set a record of 58 league games unbeaten for the longest unbeaten run in Europe's top five leagues, showing unrivaled quality.
When it comes to the Dutch men's national football team, the Dutch Three Musketeers are just as good. They represented the Netherlands at two European Championships in 1988 and 1992 and one World Cup in 1990. In these three tournaments, the Dutch national team won the 1988 European Championship under the leadership of the Dutch trio, showing their team strength and collaborative spirit.
The skills and achievements of the Dutch Three Musketeers have made them legends in the history of the game, and their stories will forever be etched in the halls of football.
