"Back in 1999, with Alberto Zaccheroni in charge at Milan, there were seven matches remaining and the Rossoneri were seven points behind Lazio. From that moment on, the Biancocelesti were defeated in the derby against Roma and against Juventus before drawing their penultimate game vs. Fiorentina. The team from the capital therefore dropped eight points and Milan took advantage with seven consecutive wins, overtaking the Biancocelesti on the second-last matchday and winning the Scudetto in the final game."
"Milan had another big title moment in 2022, again at the Olimpico, again against Lazio. It was on April 24th and the Rossoneri, led by Stefano Pioli, knew that they would go above Inter with a victory. The home side started strongly with a goal from Immobile, before the Diavolo mounted a comeback in the second half with goals from Olivier Giroud and Sandro Tonali in the final minutes. Tonali's winner would become one of the most iconic moments in the eventual Scudetto win."
AC Milan's Scudetto hopes remain alive following Inter's 1-1 draw with Atalanta. A victory against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico would bring Milan closer to the title race. This fixture carries historical significance, paralleling the 1998-99 season when Milan trailed Lazio by seven points with seven matches remaining. Despite a 0-0 draw at the Olimpico that year, Milan subsequently won seven consecutive matches while Lazio dropped eight points, allowing Milan to overtake them and win the Scudetto. Similarly, in 2022, Milan defeated Lazio 2-1 at the same venue with a dramatic late winner from Sandro Tonali, a pivotal moment in their title-winning campaign under Stefano Pioli.
