On September 8th, 2000, during a friendly between Milan and Roma, arranged for the twenty year anniversary of Canale 5 TV channel at the San Siro, the fans applauded Francesco Totti at lenght. The same clapping was dedicated to the Roma’s captain one year ago, on May 9th 2015, when Milan edged Roma 2-1. As Totti took the pitch, there was a plaudit from the San Siro and the player really appreciated it.

On Saturday evening Stephan El Shaarawy will be back to the San Siro. The young striker, loaned to Roma, has been missing from the Scala del Calcio since May 23rd, when he scored a double in Milan’s 3-0 win over Torino.

Milan’s backward couple, who played last week at Bologna, was made up of two former Roma defenders: Philippo Mexes and Alessio Romagnoli.
