Yes I remember those games as well but the two games in the Champions League were very unfortunate for AC Milan as they lost Leao right before the game and he was the player who made a massive difference for their game last season. The whole attacking game was on a different level when Leao palyed. They then conceded two very quick goals in the first leg and in the second leg it is as good as it could possibly go for Inter when they play with a two goal advantage. Because they know better than many other teams to play their advantages very strategically and avoid giving the opponent a chance to come back into the game. But this upcoming game is different.
Losing Leao is not a very big excuse for losing even though it would had given them a better chances of winning but they've won if they performed better, then losing is based on the fact that Intermilan where a bit better in performance, but those are previous seasons where in a new since and anticipate how the rivaly unfolds this season because both teams are looking better than the previous season and the outcome might determine who would dominate the league for a while this season
Alot of people would judge this match based on the previous stats but might end up being shocked by Ac Milan's performance because they might enď up winning the match it's tough for me to predict the outcome but I won't write off Milan because of their previous stats, they've got better players and have strengthened their squad depth and even performaning very brilliantly currently.
If based on statistics, Inter is very favored, but this time I will not look at it completely because Milan has also made changes to its squad. The Rossoneri also have a great opportunity to pick up points in the Derby della Madonnina match, it is not without reason that Milan's current performance is very impressive and I see that their players are very complete.
Rafael Laeao is really relied on by Pioli. His loss will certainly affect the team's performance slightly, but I am sure Pioli has prepared an alternative to overcome this problem.
This Derby match is certainly very balanced and will definitely be quite an interesting game. It's hard to predict who will be the best but Milan still shouldn't be underestimated.
