UEFA Champions League 2022: Inter Milan v AC Milan - Semi Final Leg 1
Summary
The CL opposition will be a little frustrated to see their hopes slip away to the likes of two Serie A teams in AC and Inter Milan this past year.
However, these two clubs are not complaining and will battle it out for a spot in the CL Final this year.
Two squads with a bunch of work to do in their own domestic league, this match will figure to be one of the more intriguing CL semis in a while.
Although most people will rightly focus on the main match between Madrid and City, there is still a great spectacle to watch here between both teams from Milan.
Without a doubt there will be some scrappy fouls, horrible challenges, but great football in the process.
These two teams might not be guaranteed a Champions League spot next year, so they will do everything in their power to try and get one here.
Making the CL Final would be a huge boost for either of these clubs right now, and this rivalry will only be catalysed this week.

Inter Milan versus AC Milan - Wednesday, May 10th @ San Siro
Inter Milan have seen a stark falling off from previous successes within Italy over the past 12 months and are looking to get back on track in the best way possible.
The Internazionale faithful have belief in their team and think their chance to strike is now, especially against a side like AC Milan.
Lautaro Martinez has still been a beacon of light for the blue and black, but there are large problems in how they are able to close games.
Boasting one of the best clean sheet records in all of Europe, you would think that Inter are in the driver's seat for this match, but their lack of clinical finishing at times has severely been their wrongdoing.
Inter are more than capable of putting this tie to bed when they want, but they are just not the same prolific team they were last season.
Inter needs to focus on making the right passes and trying to limit opportunities from set pieces, something that they have to accomplish in order to even come close to finishing their rivals AC Milan on Wednesday.
AC Milan are riding off the coattails of Rafael Leao and his amazing play right now, and they have every reason to be happy about his progression as a footballer over the past two years.
The Portuguese forward is at the apex of his powers, and he is trying everything he can to get his team over the line in every game he takes part in.
Leao and Giroud have been lethal when paired together this year, and it is hard to see why they wouldn’t be in the same partnership this time around in the most important game of their season.
Look for Milan to withstand Inter’s pressure and play on the counter with the pace of Theo Hernandez and Leao.
