The Milan Derby is here! Inter win the Serie A Week 4 game humiliating AC Milan on Saturday 16 September 2023 at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium in Milan, Italy. This is a solid victory for Inter claiming the full bragging rights to rule in the City of Milan. The Nerazzurri spread in the second half and won the derby with a resounding 5-1, climbing to the top of the table as sole leaders. Henrikh Mkhitaryan on top (two goals and an assist), joys also for Marcus Thuram, Davide Frattesi and the former Çalhanoğlu (on a penalty, a foul by Theo Hernandez on Lautaro). Rafael Leão is not enough for the Rossoneri, who have never been incisive.
Inter and Milan have not faced each other on equal points in Serie A since 11 May 2001 (6-0 for the Rossoneri) and only once in the history of Serie A have they clashed with the same points and at the top of the table: on 4 February 1962 (2-0 for the Nerazzurri), in that case Fiorentina were also in first place.
On the fifth day, Inzaghi’s boys will visit Empoli while Pioli’s team will host Verona.
5 – Inter have won five consecutive matches against AC Milan considering all competitions for the first time in their history. Historic.#InterMilan pic.twitter.com/VaHDinutPW
