This season, football fans will witness a true Milanese showdown. Inter and Milan will meet in the Coppa Italia semifinal, marking their fifth encounter of the season. The semifinal will be played over two legs, with the first match set for April 2 and the return leg on April 23.
In their three previous encounters this season, Milan won twice, while one match ended in a draw. This makes the upcoming semifinal even more intriguing, as Inter will be looking to take revenge for their past setbacks. Both clubs showcase exciting football, and their clashes are always among the biggest events in Italian football.
Inter secured their spot in the Coppa Italia semifinal with a convincing 2-0 victory over Lazio in the quarterfinals. Marco Arnautović and Hakan Çalhanoğlu scored in that match. Notably, one of Inter's key players, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, was given a rest and did not feature in the game. This suggests that the Nerazzurri's coaching staff was already preparing for crucial matches, including the upcoming derbies.
Milan, on the other hand, also confidently advanced to the semifinals by defeating Roma in the quarterfinals.
