Christian AbbiatiCavaliere OMRI (born 8 July 1977) is an Italian former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
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.
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.[3]
Abbiati currently holds the record for the most appearances as a goalkeeper for Milan (380).[4][5] In his prime, Abbiati was regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in Italy.
