Between

Yann Summer 5 – First half without any real saves. He put a little pressure on Salaemaekers’ shot. A decisive mistake that led to Pulisic’s goal.

Manuel Akanji 6 – Timely and precise in intervention. He held the defense until the end.

Francesco Acerbi 6 – He gave all his experience to us. Hit the post with his head in the first half.

Alessandro Bastoni 6 – Dialogue with Dimarco, this time limiting the percussion to the front.

Carlos August 5 – On the right he did what he could. He always went back to the left, never finding the bottom.

Nicolo Barella 6 – An orphan from Dumfries, he speaks little to his fellow wingers and often comes to the center of the pitch. One of the last people to give up. He left exhausted.

Hakan Calhanoglu 5 – The team needs his guidance to increase the engine speed. He missed a penalty kick. The second since he joined Inter. A mistake not his. Piotr Zielinski 6

Petar Sucic 6 – In the first derby he showed a lot of ease. In the second half he took center stage with a high school game. However, his performance against Fiorentina failed.

Federico Dimarco 6– Constant push to the left. Confirming progress with multiple recoveries.

Marcus Thuram 6 – He almost scored with a header early on. Then lots of finishes for his teammates.

Lautaro Martinez 5 – The usual captain’s determination. Play it all out. On the first occasion, Maignan’s shot hit the post. He couldn’t find the right game. Ange-Yoan Bonny 5 – He works hard but shoots moving penalties very high.

Coach: Cristian Chivu 6 – Derby as a rookie on the Inter bench. He chose not to distort the team’s game. Once again betrayed by the episodes. It’s hard to blame him.

Milan

Mike Maignan 8 – Luck in the first half for Thuram and Lautaro, also thanks to the help of the goal post. Complete a dream night by saving Calhanoglu’s penalty.

Fikayo Tomori 6.5 – His game was very careful, he practically did not make any mistakes.

Matteo Gabbia7 – Lead the defense as an old libero. Safety on high balls and closeouts.

Strahinja Pavlovic6 – Getting more comfortable in the arms, he also came forward as fast as he could. Too impetuous in stepping towards Thuram. Calhanoglu forgave him.

Alexis Saelemaekers 6.5 – Good duel with Dimarco. This is mainly a sacrificial competition.

Youssouf Fofana 6 – Dark and valuable job in midfield.

Luka Modric 6.5 – Giving him the ball is like putting it in the bank. Around the half hour mark he stunned San Siro by missing a pass, it also happened to him.

Adrien Rabiot 6.5 – Contrast, provides balance and adjustment. Value returns to midfield.

Matteo Bartesaghi 6 – Without Dumfries he has more space to attack and emerge as quickly as he can.

Christian Pulisic 7.5 – Always dangerous between the lines. He almost scored in the first half when he held off the attack alone. He scored again in the derby, showing that he has problems to solve with Inter

Rafael Leao 6 – You couldn’t see it practically in the first half.

As the Nerazzurri shirt billows.

Coach: Massimiliano Allegri 7 – He is an expert in preparing for this match. He knows he has to suffer but he knows how to hurt Inter. And he made it just in time. Chapeau.
