The Derby della Madonnina is upon us and the Italian newspapers didn’t hesitate to highlight this on the front pages today. Indeed, Serie A will be back with a bang after the international break.
After the 2-2 draw against Parma, letting Inter gain a two-point advantage, the derby has become even more important for Milan. While it can hardly be a Scudetto-decider this early in the season, many would still argue that it’s very important.
As highlighted by our editor Oliver Fisher, the way things have changed for both Milan and Inter in recent years has certainly made this clash a lot more interesting. Indeed, the two new managers have brought something else to the table, making this a ‘fresh’ derby.
Of course, with the derby scheduled to take place tomorrow evening, the newspapers made sure to highlight the big game on the front pages. It will be even more tomorrow, but we certainly aren’t lacking build-up content.
