The city rivals will be up against each other in the UCL semifinal

The two pinnacle Italian sides are set to clash with each other in the epic UCL semifinal on Wednesday night. AC Milan will host Inter Milan in a memorable Milan Derby at the San Siro Stadium and it promises to be spectacular from start to finish.

The 7-time UCL winner AC Milan arrives at a good time for the classic in their city for this colossal match. Rossoneri has not lost a game since last March 18, when the side fell 1-3 against Udinese on match date 27 of Serie A. Since then, AC Milan has accumulated four wins and five draws. Among those results is the key to the quarterfinals against Napoli.

With Leao, Giroud and Bennacer in front, AC Milan has proven to be a vertical and dangerous team. Red and Black also know how to defend themselves with the result in their favour. The 5th place in the Italian points table the side suffered against Tottenham and the current Serie A winners Napoli, but finally advanced. Now Pioli’s side has his lifelong rival in front of them and they will be two classics that will paralyze all of Italy.

Inter Milan, meanwhile, has five consecutive victories 4 in Serie A and one in the Italian Cup and is ready to face the ‘Rossonero' side. Inter comfortably defeated Lazio (3-1), Verona (6-0) and Roma (2-0) in their last fixtures. Nerazzurri has improved a lot and is in fourth place in the Italian league, where Napoli has already become champion with a few dates in advance in the ongoing season.

The Argentinian Lautaro Martínez and the Belgian Romelu Lukaku are on fire and will be the main attack card for the 'Nerazzurri'. Dimarco, Brozovic and Dumfries are also having excellent performances. Many believe that it could be a closed game, but the dynamism and explosion that they have shown indicate the opposite.

The Milanese derby is a classic of Italian football, between AC Milan and Inter Milan of the most prestigious clubs in the country. AC Milan and Inter have already met three times this season, with two victories for the Nerazzurri and one for the Interstate. This year they have dominated their rivals, in the Italian Super Cup (3-0) and the second leg of Serie A (1-0).
