Inter Milan vs AC Milan: Match Preview

AC Milan will have it all to do when they face Inter Milan in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final clash at the Giuseppe Meazza on Tuesday night.

Stefano Pioli's men have completely fallen off a cliff and were lucky to just get away with a two-goal loss in the first leg. Inter were comfortably the better side that night and should have put the game to bed given the number of goalscoring opportunities they had.

The Serie A giants have a storied history in the competition and have won the trophy a combined ten times. The most recent of them came in 2010 when Jose Mourinho led the Nerazzurri to glory. Simone Inzaghi is today the better placed of either Milan bosses to repeat the trick.

Milan have lacked bite of late and have failed to show much inspiration in the attack following the injury to Rafael Leao. With their bid for a top-four finish in Serie A weltering, going all the way in the Champions League is their best bet to continue their participation in the competition.

Inter, however, appear to have hit form at just the right time. While the defence could show more fight, the attack is now finally clicking, offering Inzaghi several options to deploy as and when needed. Inter were able to rest several of their top players at the weekend and should be fresher on the night.

Reeling with injuries and a loss of form, Milan face an uphill task against overwhelming odds. Whoever scores first on the night will more or less set the tone for the pace of the game.  Emotions will run high on and off the field on the night. No quarter is likely to be given in what should prove to be a proper fight between two arch-rivals.


— AC Milan (@acmilan) May 15, 2023

With all to play for, Milan are expected to throw the kitchen sink at Inter and the game should start off at a fast pace. This should work in Inter's favour as the Nerazzurri can then hit their rivals on the counter, putting the tie to bed.

Team News:

Inter Milan:

Inter remain without departing centre-back Milan Skriniar, whose back injury likely means he has played his final game for the Nerazzurri before his summer move to Paris Saint-Germain.


— Inter (@Inter_en) May 15, 2023

The big question is whether Edin Dzeko, who scored in the first leg, will retain his place in attack over Romelu Lukaku, who netted twice at the weekend in the 4-2 win over Sassuolo.

AC Milan:

Midfielder Ismael Bennacer has been ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury last time out.


— AC Milan (@acmilan) May 15, 2023

Rade Krunic and Junior Messias are also expected to miss out but there is cautious optimism about star forward Rafael Leao, who was back in full training on Sunday and is on track to return for this one.

Inter Milan vs AC Milan: Head to Head

Inter Milan have a good historical record in the Derby della Madonnina and have won 88 out of the 236 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to AC Milan's 79 victories.

Inter Milan have defeated AC Milan on three occasions in all competitions this season and last achieved four victories in a single campaign against the Rossoneri in the 1973-74 campaign.


— Inter (@Inter_en) May 14, 2023

AC Milan have lost their last three matches against Inter Milan in all competitions and have failed to score in these games despite attempting a total of 31 shots.

Inter Milan are looking to reach a final of the UEFA Champions League for the sixth time in their history and for the first time since they achieved the feat under Jose Mourinho in 2010.

Predicted Line-ups:

AC Milan (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Tomori, Kjaer, Theo; Tonali, Pobega; Saelemaekers, Diaz, Leao; Giroud.

Inter Milan (4-2-3-1): Onana; Bastoni, Acerbi, Darmian; Dumfries, Calhanoglu, Barella, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Lautaro, Dzeko.

The fourth kit of AC Milan this season is a special edition kit, to celebrate the club's legacy of long 125 years. Founded in 1899, AC Milan have consolidated themselves as one of the greatest Italian clubs in history. The shirt is significantly unveiled today, on 5 December 2024, which is 12.5 if numerically written. 

The iconic red and black striped design which originally emerged in the 1950s now enhances the beauty of the new kit; whereas the logo describes "Milan Football and Cricket Club". The badge pays homage to the very first logo of the club and Herbert Kilpin, the club's founder who wanted the club to represent both football and cricket. An emblematic symbol of AC Milan during the 1980s called 'Diavoletto', which means 'Little Devil', is printed inside the jersey with an inscription that reads 'AC Milan 125.'

Back in December 2023, AC Milan invited some of its loyal supporters to the 'Design our Jersey. Design our Legacy' campaign. The key elements from AC Milan's long pages of history were chosen by the loyal supporters to be designed in the jersey. Only 1899 shirts each for a goalkeeper jersey, a football, and a limited edition retro jersey will be available to be purchased by fans. These shirts will also feature a unique serial number and receive an exclusive packaging. This is a tribute to the club's founding year, 1899. 

Franco Baresi, AC Milan's Honorary Vice President expressed his emotions about the special jersey:

This jersey is a reflection of AC Milan’s soul - its passion, its history, and the vision for its future. As someone who has proudly represented this Club for 50 years in many different roles, this milestone represents a moment of celebration and unity for the entire Rossoneri family. The 125th Anniversary is a testament to the values and spirit that make AC Milan extraordinary, and this kit is a beautiful way to honour our journey while celebrating the unwavering bond with our fans.

On behalf of PUMA, Marco Mueller, PUMA’s Senior Director of Product Line Management Teamsport said:

The 125th Anniversary kit is not only a celebration of AC Milan’s past but also a tribute to the unwavering passion of its fans. We’re honored to have worked with the Rossoneri faithful to create something that’s not only a piece of football history but also designed for performance and pride.

The 125th-anniversary kit was officially unveiled yesterday in Milan in an exclusive event at the club’s Flagship Store in Via Dante. This special kit will make its exciting on-field debut on December 8 when AC Milan Women will take on Inter Milan in the Milan Derby, followed by the men's team facing Genoa on December 15 at the San Siro Stadium.

The Rojiblancos started their UCL campaign with a 2-1 victory over RB Leipzig as José María Giménez scored a last-minute winner that ensured three points for the Spanish side.
