In the century-long development process, Serie A has had the highlights of the Little World Cup period and the trough of the decline in the league's influence. However, the century-old Serie A history has produced many teams famous in European football. Whether it is European giants like Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan, or league powerhouses like Lazio and Fiorentina, they have many loyal fans, and their existence has also made Serie A the best league in the world. So today let’s take a look at the teams that have completed 3,000 games in the Serie A to see if there is your home team.

AC Milan 3092 games in Serie A

As the most successful team in the European arena in Italian football, Milan has won the championship seven times in the Champions League. Although it has not won the championship again in nearly 20 years, Milan is still second only to Real Madrid in the number of Champions League championships, ranking second in the history of the Champions League. However, Milan, which performed well in the European game, is not the first in the domestic Serie A arena. The team's achievements in the league are far less than Juventus, which has 36 Serie A championships. The number of Serie A champions in the same city is also more than the Ross and Blacks. Although Milan won the first Serie A championship as early as the 1900-01 season, the team's league championships are currently only 19, ranking third in Serie A. Before re-winning the Serie A championship in 2021-22, Milan even experienced 11 seasons of Serie A without a championship. However, in the history of the Ross and Blacks, they have also been the leader in the league. In the Serie A arena in the 1990s, Milan won five Serie A championships in ten years and achieved an unbeaten record to win the league. Currently, Milan has completed 3092 games in Serie A, ranking only 4th in the league. If it weren't for being relegated to the second division at the end of the 1980s, Milan would have had more league games.

Roma Roma, the representative of the Eternal City in Serie A, Roma, was ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the league at the beginning of this season. However, with Ranieri taking over Rome's coaching stick, Roma began an invincible journey. At present, the team has maintained 19 rounds of unbeaten in Serie A. The standings are also from the middle and lower reaches, gradually approaching the top four in the league. The team currently ranks fifth in the league, but Roma and Juventus, 4th in points, both have 63 points, and all teams still have a great chance to enter the Champions League next season. In the history of Roma's team, although there are only three league champions, not even as good as opponents such as Genoa, Roma's position in league history is only second to the top three in the North in Serie A. Whether it is the total league points or the team's games in Serie A, Roma is the top team in Serie A. Roma has completed 3,112 games in Serie A in decades of history, which is even more than Milan, ranking third among all Serie A teams, second only to Inter Milan and Juventus.

Juventus Although Juventus, the leader of Serie A, has missed the Serie A championship for many seasons, this does not prevent Juventus from being the most successful team in Serie A history. They have won the Serie A championship 36 times in the league. Looking at the entire five major leagues, only Real Madrid can match it. As early as the 1904-05 season, Juventus won its first Serie A championship, and then won many consecutive championships, dominating the Serie A arena. The most impressive thing is the 9 consecutive Serie A championships that started in the 2011-12 season. Juventus has won the Serie A championship in these nine seasons. Such a long consecutive championship is second only to Bayern in the five major leagues. However, as the most successful team in Serie A, Juventus also has a dark history that is unbearable to look back on. Juventus, who ranked first in the standings in the 2005-06 season, was deprived of the championship due to the telephone gate incident. In the following season, Juventus played in the Serie B for one season. Although he immediately returned to the top league, the team's relegation inevitably caused some players to lose, resulting in the team's strength declined. During those seasons Inter Milan became the overlord of Serie A until Juventus returned and achieved nine consecutive championships in Serie A. Currently, Juventus has made a total of 3,114 appearances in Serie A, second only to Inter Milan.

Inter Milan 3,153 games in Serie A, although Inter Milan lags behind Napoli in the league this season, they still have hope of winning the league. Inter Milan, which is fighting on multiple fronts, has reached the Champions League final and is expected to win the Champions League again after 15 years. In the history of Serie A, Inter Milan is the only team that has never been relegated, so the Nerazzurri has more games in Serie A than Juventus and Milan who have been relegated to the second division. At the same time, Inter Milan has 20 Serie A titles in terms of the number of championships, second only to Juventus. As early as the 1909-10 season, Inter Milan won its first Serie A championship. In the following decades, Inter Milan won the number of championships continuously. Before the 20th century, Inter Milan had 13 Serie A championships. The subsequent five consecutive Serie A championships allowed Inter Milan to dominate Serie A during that period. Last season, the Nerazzurri won the 20th Serie A championship and successfully surpassed his city rival Milan. In terms of league achievements, Inter Milan is slightly better than his city's mortal enemy. Inter Milan, which currently wins 20 Serie A championships, has a total of 3,153 league appearances in the Serie A League, making it the team with the most participations in all Serie A teams.
