GdS: Taboos, set-pieces and eyes on Leao - how Milan and Inter approach decisive derby
"Tonight's Milan-Inter match will break the Serie A box office record, set by the first leg of the derby: €8,649,494. It will be close to €9m, with 75,500 at San Siro. The hope is for a derby that is also rich in poetry and beauty, worthy of the Olympic opening ceremony a month ago and the Fashion Week that just ended in Milan."
"Ten points is a long distance, but ten games, after the derby, is no small amount. In Allegri and Chivu's minds, the big match at the Meazza has the same shape: that of a springboard. A springboard to secure a Champions League spot, but also to dream of a comeback or an escape."
"The Rossoneri are counting on their recent momentum: undefeated in the last six derbies, they've won four. The Nerazzurri haven't celebrated a derby win since April 2024, and want revenge. Milan haven't won two derbies in the same season since 2010-11. Allegri was the head coach and the end result was a Scudetto win, pipping Inter."
AC Milan and Inter meet in a crucial Serie A derby that will break the league's attendance revenue record, with approximately 75,500 fans at San Siro generating nearly €9 million. Inter leads the standings by ten points, but Milan has ten games remaining to close the gap. Both teams view the derby as a springboard for their remaining season objectives. Milan seeks to maintain recent momentum, undefeated in their last six derbies with four wins, while Inter pursues their first derby victory since April 2024. Following the derby, both teams face similar quality opponents, with Inter's three challenging matches coming consecutively, potentially allowing them to secure the Scudetto if they avoid faltering.
