AC Milan take on Inter tonight knowing that if they lose they will hand their city rivals the title, while there is a strong air of uncertainty about the future too.
Milan have lost the last five encounters with Inter in all competitions and taking recent form into consideration, it’s difficult to imagine that this trend will change. However, there is the added motivation tonight: to stop them celebrating the Scudetto.
Below is how the front pages of the Italian papers look this morning…
La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Milan–Inter, a derby never seen before. Scudetto trick or treat? A victory would give the Nerazzurri their second star. Pioli (at the last attempt) wants to postpone Inzaghi’s party.”
Corriere dello Sport: “The night of the stars. Inter target immediate Scudetto, Milan don’t want it rubbed in their faces. Lautaro prepares the catwalk, Leao hopes to delay it. Inzaghi adrenaline: ‘One step from the summit, but it is not an obsession’. Pioli: ‘There is too much talk about my future, it’s not helpful’.”
Tuttosport: “Derby Scudetto with spikes. Inter champions of Italy if they beat Milan tonight. Pioli at the finish line, Zhang debts.”
