The Derby della Madonnina, played on March 8, 2026, lived up to all expectations. In a cauldron of noise at the San Siro, AC Milan prevailed over Inter (1-0) in a crucial clash in the title race. Before the match, the Nerazzurri led the league with 67 points, ten points ahead of their Rossoneri rivals, who were second with 57 points.

For this highly anticipated match, Massimiliano Allegri opted for a 3-5-2 formation for AC Milan, with Mike Maignan in goal and key players like Adrien Rabiot and Youssouf Fofana in midfield.
