The Milan Derby is worth the Scudetto: 5 reasons not to lose it

Milan-Inter, Sunday 3pm. The Derby, the Match. Which can be worth a championship, which will tell us who is in charge in Serie A. The charm, the history, the champions. Inside the bubble of the most exciting championship of recent years, at San Siro a challenge full of suggestions is staged. From Ibrahimovic to Lukaku, from Wags to Social: here are five reasons why Milan-Inter is unmissable.

Because the Scudetto is worth
And it hadn’t happened in a lifetime. Last Sunday there was the overtaking, Inter jumped in the lead (50 points), Milan followed closely (49).

We are on matchday 23, after the derby there will still be 15. It is still too early for definitive sentences, but winning the derby means taking up residence in the territory where the Scudetto is possible. Inter have not won him since 2010 (Mourinho), Milan since 2011 (Allegri).

Per Ibrahimovic vs Lukaku
The story is well known. In the Coppa Italia derby at the end of January, the two faced each other hard-nosed, between allusions to voodoo rites (by Lukaku) and insults to the mother (by Ibra). Neither has apologized, the Federal Prosecutor has listened to both, it will end up in tarallucci and wine. Sunday Ibra and Lukaku return to the scene of the crime. Will they pretend nothing has happened? Or when they come into contact will they be sparks?

Because Milan commands
After nine years of Juventus dictatorship and nine championships that have mortified the rest of Italy, Milan is once again the capital of Italian football, as it once was. The Scala del Calcio derby will be followed all over the world and will be – however it goes – a show. Too bad for the absence of the public, a toll to be paid at this disbanded time and under the slap of Covid 19.

Because the Wags take the field
Or rather, they invade social media. Cheering, placing a few poisonous digs here and there. In Milan here is Zoe Cristofoli, partner of Theo Hernandez, Alessia Elefante, girlfriend of Donnarumma since 2016, Ilaria Belloni partner of Calabria, Elina Gollert, wife of Kjaer. Inter play Barbora Hroncekova, Slovenian model partner of Milan Skriniar, Argentine Agustina Landolfo, girlfriend of Lautaro, Federica Schievenin, Sonia Isaza and Hiba-Abouk, companions of Barella, Vidal and Hakimi. This is also a challenge between champions.

Because the other game is played on social media
Doors closed, social networks open. Derby there too, and they will be sparks. Meanwhile, Milan has launched the “Derby Together” initiative, the goal is to gather supporters from all over the world – and there are many – to fill the San Siro, even if virtually (with proceeds that will go to the charitable activities of the Milan Foundation). The Inter fans respond with another slogan: let’s color Milan with the Nerazzurri. Streets, walls, flags on the balconies, banners around San Siro to support their favorite team.

Milan-Inter will be visible exclusively on DAZN.
