MILAN – In the past two meetings between Milan-Torino at the San Siro, two Milan defenders, and interestingly both French, have had a decisive role to play.

On the 5th of May 2013, in Milan-Torino 1-0, Balotelli scored the winning goal thanks to an assist by centre-back Philippe Mexes.

Last season meanwhile, in February 2014, fellow centre-back Adil Rami cancelled out Immobile’s opener for a final score of Milan-Torino 1-1.
