Who says that Inter has been much stronger than Milan this season? As far as I can see they are about as even as it could get in Serie A with respect to both the points and the goals scored and conceded. There isn't really much of a difference between them. Inter has beaten Juventus in Coppa Italia, which I think shows that they are definitely able to beat Milan as well in the Champions League. This is a 50:50 game in my opinion. None of the teams really has an edge over the other team. Inter has a bit more pressure in the league as well if they want to qualify for the Champions League. Even though I think they can beat Milan, I doubt that without tons of luck they could also win the title in this competition.
Yes, it seems that Inter and Milan's performances are not much different, in Serie A they are also not very consistent. Maybe if you look at the performances of these two teams since the group phase, the Nerazzurri are a bit more favorites because they were able to overcome difficult obstacles. But I agree that the match between the two teams from this city has the same opportunity. It is very difficult to predict who will qualify for the final. There are several factors that will later determine their steps, such as pursuing targets in Serie A. Pioli and Inzaghi certainly have to rack their brains to be able to provide the best for their team and which targets will be their top priority.
At present the conditions of the two teams are not much different, AC Milan and Inter Milan must also focus on Serie A to compete with several other teams in order to finish in the top 4 of the final standings in order to get a ticket to the next. UCL season.
regardless of the inconsistent performance of these two teams throughout this season but I think it doesn't have a big effect because surely the two teams will put out their best performance and will be very focused on the semifinals of the UCL this season, being able to get to the semifinals is an extraordinary thing for both teams, this is far from the prediction of many people that these two milan city teams can go this far.
and for the possibility that will pass I also think that both of them have the same possibility, it is difficult to predict because the two teams have team strengths that are not much different.
