"Inter play AC Milan in the first Derby della Madonnina of the season in one week, and it is a Europe-leading derby. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) report this morning, the Milan derby will pit first against third, with Roma coming between Chivu and Allegri, plus Napoli - who are having a tough moment - accompanying the Rossoneri on 22 points. It's the highest-ranked derby in Europe."
"Just looking at the table and the Milanese teams' season, it's clear that this high-ranking derby is also a test of truth. Different times In the last 20 years, only twice has the clash been similar in terms of position: in February 2009, league leaders Inter had to keep their neighbours at bay. It's been a different time for Serie A, too."
Inter and AC Milan face each other in the first Derby della Madonnina of the season in one week. The fixture pits the league leader against third place, while Roma occupies second and Napoli sit level with Milan on 22 points. Only the Arsenal–Chelsea London derby matches this level of ranking in Europe. Preparations resume on Tuesday ahead of the Sunday 20:45 CET kick-off. Historical parallels include February 2009 when leaders Inter faced Milan and February 2022 when Giroud's brace turned a derby outcome. The match carries significant title implications.
