The Derby della Madonnina, also affectionately known as the "Derby di Milano", is one of the most intense and passionate rivalries in world football. It pits two of Italy's most successful clubs, AC Milan and Inter Milan, against each other in a fierce battle for supremacy in the fashion capital. With their vibrant atmospheres, colorful tifos, and legendary players, these matches have captivated fans for over a century.
The rivalry began in 1908 when AC Milan split into two separate clubs, with one faction forming Inter Milan. The rivalry quickly escalated, fueled by class differences and political affiliations. AC Milan was seen as the team of the wealthy elite, while Inter was supported by the working class and left-wing movements.
The rivalry was further intensified by the fact that the two clubs shared the same stadium, the San Siro. This led to a heated competition for stadium dominance, with each club trying to outdo the other in terms of atmosphere and support. The San Siro has become a symbol of the rivalry, and it is often packed to capacity for derby matches.

In a pre-match conference before a derby match, a reporter asked AC Milan manager Arrigo Sacchi what he thought of Inter Milan's new star signing, Ronaldo. Sacchi replied, "Ronaldo? He's a great player, but he has one big weakness: he's never played against Baresi**."
Baresi was Milan's legendary defender, known for his ruthlessness and impeccable timing. The reporter laughed and said, "But Signor Sacchi, Ronaldo is the best player in the world. Surely he can beat anyone?"
Sacchi smiled and said, "Sure, Ronaldo can beat anyone. But he can't beat time."
Milan went on to win the derby 1-0, with Baresi marking Ronaldo out of the game.
