the Nerazzurri are already widening the gap… Follow the first leg of the Champions League semi-final

San Siro is ready to explode for the 79th della Madonnina derby. Sold out, the 80,000-seat stadium hosts the 100% local duel between AC Milan and Inter, Wednesday May 10, on the occasion of the semi-final first leg of the Champions League. Winners of Naples (2-1 in the double confrontation), recent Italian champions, in the previous round, Olivier Giroud’s teammates faced their lifelong enemies, executioners of Benfica Lisbon in the quarter-finals (5-3).

Like the Nerazzurri in 2010, the Rossoneri find the last four of the C1 for the first time since the 2007 edition, which they then won. The two teams have faced each other twice in the Champions League in the past, in the semi-finals in 2002-2003 and in the quarter-finals in 2004-2005. Each time, AC Milan qualified for the final. An irremediable conclusion? Early response Wednesday, at San Siro.
