Deportivo's Divine Madness

In this episode of The CC Tapes, we revisit one of the most shocking nights in Champions League history: Deportivo La Coruña’s 4–0 demolition of AC Milan in 2004. Milan arrived at the Riazor with a 4–1 lead and one of the greatest squads ever assembled — Maldini, Kaká, Shevchenko, Pirlo — only to be torn apart by Pandiani, Valerón, Luque, and Fran. We break down the arrogance, the tactical collapse, and the sheer emotional violence of a night where football reminded us that no empire is safe.
