A.C. Milan
He left Schalke for A.C. Milan in 1998, however his performances didn't match the standards set at Schalke. In one game Gabriel Batistuta scored a hat-trick against him, including a goal from a free kick in the box which Lehmann had conceded by handling a back pass. In another game he was substituted after giving away a penalty. Lehmann was dropped after just five matches and believing he wouldn't get another chance at Milan he left during the winter.

And the whole time Roberto is saying it he has a big, jolly grin on his face. Shame none of the reporters seemed to pick up on it
