Timeline

1977

Christian Abbiati (born 8 July 1977) is an Italian former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

1998

Abbiati, who had been with AC Milan since 1998, started his career with Monza, and later played more than 300 official matches for Milan.

He also spent loan spells at Borgosesia Calcio, Juventus, Torino and Atlético Madrid.

His honours include three Serie A titles, one Coppa Italia, two Supercoppa Italiana victories, one UEFA Champions League and one UEFA Super Cup.

1999

Abbiati's Serie A debut came on 17 January 1999 as a 92nd-minute substitute for Sebastiano Rossi.

Abbiati picked up a league title with AC Milan that season despite initially being third-choice goalkeeper behind Rossi and Jens Lehmann, while also facing competition from reserve keeper Giorgio Frezzolini.

Due to his performances, Abbiati eventually broke into the starting line-up, and in the final match of the season on 23 May, he made several decisive saves, including one on Cristian Bucchi, as Milan celebrated winning the Scudetto following a 2–1 away win over Perugia.

2000

Although he was selected by Italy at UEFA Euro 2000 (where the team reached the final), and the 2002 FIFA World Cup, he did not represent the nation until he made his international debut in a 2–1 friendly win against Switzerland in 2003.

In total, he was capped four times by the national team.

Abbiati currently holds the record for the most appearances as a goalkeeper for Milan (380).

In his prime, Abbiati was regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in Italy.

2002

He then became Milan's undisputed first choice goalkeeper for the next four years, until he lost his starting spot to backup Dida early in the 2002–03 season after incurring an injury during a UEFA Champions League qualifying match in August 2002.

Dida's top form effectively grounded Abbiati's playing time to a halt.

Despite his relegation to the bench, Abbiati still managed to contribute to Milan's Coppa Italia and Champions League victories that season.

2003

He appeared in Milan's 2003 Supercoppa Italiana defeat to Juventus on penalties, but Dida later regained his position as starting goalkeeper.

2005

Abbiati played one minute in Milan's 2004–05 Champions League campaign, when he came on as a substitute in the 74th minute after Dida had been struck by a flare thrown from the crowd during the quarter-final second leg against cross-city rivals Internazionale on 12 April 2005.

The match was ultimately suspended less than a minute later.

His last match in a Milan kit came on 20 May in a 3–3 home draw with Palermo, a match which saw the starters rested for the upcoming Champions League final, which Milan lost to Liverpool after squandering a 3–0 half-time lead.

Milan finished second in Serie A that season.

Abbiati announced his desire to move to another club in order to contend for a starting spot and was therefore loaned to Genoa for the 2005–06 season in July 2005, but he immediately returned to Milan after Genoa were relegated to Serie C1 due to a match-fixing scandal.

Abbiati was soon on the move again, joining Juventus as a temporary replacement for incumbent Gianluigi Buffon, who had suffered a dislocated shoulder during the Luigi Berlusconi Trophy match against Milan in August 2005.

2006

With long-awaited regular playing time at his disposal, he flourished with the Bianconeri, but when Buffon returned to the starting lineup six months later, Abbiati's services were no longer needed, and he left at the end of the season for another Turin squad when Milan loaned him to Torino in July 2006.

Although Juventus managed to win the Serie A title that season, it was later revoked due to their involvement in the Calciopoli scandal, and they were relegated to Serie B the following season.

Despite expressing his desire to stay for another season, Abbiati and Torino ultimately parted ways due to a salary dispute.

2007

On 29 December, he expressed interest in staying with Atlético beyond 2007–08 season, saying, "My adaptation has gone better than I expected. I am happy at this club because they have helped me so much. I like playing in Spain and I think I will learn a lot during the time that I have left here."

2008

He was once again loaned out by Milan for the third time in three seasons, this time to Spanish club Atlético Madrid until June 2008.

He began the season on the bench until an injury to incumbent Leo Franco put him in the starting lineup.

Abbiati returned to Italy after being called back by Milan for the 2008–09 season and took over as first choice from Zeljko Kalac after a solid pre-season.

2009

However, on 15 March 2009, his season was cut short following a severe knee injury in the first half of Milan's 5–1 league win over Siena, after he suffered ligament damage to his right knee from a collision with teammate Giuseppe Favalli.

He was ruled out of action for six months following rehabilitation and knee surgery.

In 28 appearances, he kept 11 clean sheets and conceded 27 goals.

On 8 November, nearly eight months after the injury, Abbiati was called up as Milan's third-choice behind Dida and new acquisition Flavio Roma for Milan's 2–1 away win over Lazio.

2010

In 2010–11, Abbiati returned as starting goalkeeper for Milan after Dida's departure.

2011

He made some crucial saves in the first half of the season and was one of the primary reasons to Milan holding a top spot by January 2011.

On 7 May 2011, after a series of good performances in crucial matches in the second half of the season, Milan clinched their first Serie A trophy in seven years.

Abbiati followed up this victory by winning the Supercoppa Italiana over Internazionale, although they were unable to defend the Scudetto, finishing second to champions Juventus.

2013

He added two more year to his contract in July 2010, to last until 30 June 2013.

On 20 May 2013 Abbiati signed a new one-year contract.

In September 2013, he broke Sebastiano Rossi's record for the most appearances as a goalkeeper for Milan.

2014

His contract was renewed again on 21 May 2014.
