      Anyone who follows Italian football should not be surprised by this result to be honest. Inter have absolutely dominated Milan since the turn of the year. 3 games, 3 wins, no goals conceded. They also dominated Napoli at home when they won 1-0 but should have scored more.

      But the question is now.
      Which team will stand a better chance against the other semifinalists?
      Is a healthy Inter a better match up for Real or City or is a healthy Milan stand a better chance?

      Gab likes to talk about Origi negativity but Milan played better and got goal scoring chaces when he was subbed in.

      Milan have no chance. The more ppl realize that the more Pioli will be forced to actually coach this team. Giroud getting an extension is a perfect example of why this club is stagnated

      As a Milan fan, I'm proud of how far Ac Milan has come. Im happy to be knocked out here I really don't want to face ManCity or Real Madrid 😂

      One word answer, pioli.

      Detailed answer is pioli and maldini transfer is the real reason. We arent coming back. Congrats inter .

      This is a fairly shallow analysis, to entirely focus on how poor Milan was and no mention of how good and efficient Inter was. Inter didn't win because Milan was so bad. Inter won because they are currently the stronger team between the two.

      3 derby in a row where Inter dominates ac Milan.. pioli doesn’t know how to approach inter. It is not just this derby alone

      AC Milan really dont have enough resources like Inter. Bennacer and Tonali are the only two good midfielders. Inter got Hakan, Barella, Mikhitariyan and Brozovic. They have got Lukaku, Lautaro, Dzeko and Correa etc. AC have just Giroud and Leao as goalscorers. Our team is all about individual brilliance. Now with Bennacer injured, it will be extremely hard for us, only Leao can save us . Plz be with us, God.

      Milan got lucky the scoreline isnt worse. absolute abysmal performance in first 30 minutes. Honestly I expected a loss but not this bad of a performance. im afraid if leao isnt back for 2nd leg we will get embarrassed again. with leao, theres a small hope we can win in extra time or penalties.

      milan simply were not organized in the back…far too easy to just run by them…without leao…no chance for milan to get anything back in leg 2

    22. Paranormal🪦Cats,Orbs&It on

      Bald excuse…FCPorto was the one who was more close to eliminate them..with an average Carlos Queiroz/Iranian weak striker that could lift the ball properly things would be different .
      Item deserves to win just by eliminating 2 corrupted teams from Republica comunista/socialista de 1975.

    23. Byron Murrill on

      Milan got it wrong by pressing to start the match. Without Leao, you park the bus and work your way out in the first leg. Awful coaching in leg one

      This shows that the semi-final should be a group stage so the two best teams play in the final. If AC Milan go to the final miraculously and play against Man city or Real Madrid in the way they played in the first half against inter Milan, it will be a cricket score. Bayern Munich Chelsea would beat AC Milan and inter but because they were on the strong side of the draw they never got a chance to play them.
