Next Saturday at 12:00 hours EST Time Inter and Milan will face their 230th official match.
Il Derby Della Madonnina has around for many generations! It is thought of as one of the most passionate derby in the world. In fact, it’s the only city derby that has two European champions in it.

Usually they were not fighting any title and both teams had mid to low quality players in their squad. But now is a total different story. Since the last season both teams have increased their level and they are fighting for the title race. Last season Inter ended first ahead of Milan by 12 points who ended second. Now Inter is first by a four points gap (53 points) and one match less. Napoli and Milan are sitting in the second spot with 49 points.
