1993–94 Parma AC season

(Redirected from 1993–94 Parma A.C. season)

Parma Associazione Calcio once again troubled the top teams in both Italy and Europe, but had to settle for just the curtain-raising UEFA Super Cup as silverware in its ambitious ascent towards the top of Italian football. It almost repeated the victory in the 1992–93 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup by reaching another final, but lost out to Arsenal.

The purchase of Gianfranco Zola from Napoli was successful, given his second place in the topscoring charts, beaten only by Giuseppe Signori of Lazio. Together with Tomas Brolin and Faustino Asprilla, Parma's attack left many teams without a chance, but the defence was not good enough to match the level of champions Milan, who conceded less than half of the 35 goals Parma did.
