This is today’s front-page headline of Quotidiano Sportivo. After Bologna’s convincing victory yesterday away at Empoli, the two Milanese sides now face off in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals. This marks the fourth clash between Milan and Inter this season.
The first meeting came in the first half of the league season, with the Rossoneri—still led by Fonseca—securing a 2-1 victory thanks to a late goal from Gabbia. Another Milan triumph followed in the Supercoppa Italiana final: Inter had taken a 2-0 lead, but Milan, now under Conceição in just his second game after Fonseca’s dismissal, mounted a comeback to win 3-2. The most recent derby, in the return league fixture, ended in a 1-1 draw. Inzaghi’s team avoided a third consecutive defeat thanks to De Vrij’s stoppage-time equalizer.
Tonight at 21:00 at San Siro, the fourth showdown of the 2024/25 season between the Rossoneri and Nerazzurri will take place. Conceição’s Milan aims to continue being Inter’s nemesis, pushing forward in a Coppa Italia campaign that carries a double significance: a second trophy of the season and a ticket to European competition. On the other side, Inzaghi’s squad is eager to get back to winning ways in the derby and keep their Treble hopes alive.
