A bad negative record for Milan: not just the disappointment of seeing old rivals win second star shield in one’s own home but also that of lose the sixth consecutive derby. This evening’s 2-1 is the latest in a long series that began in the Italian Super Cup in January 2023 and continued with two derbies in the league and another two in the Champions League. A streak of six consecutive defeats against Inter that the Milan had never experimented: there had been a maximum of five consecutive defeats.
Twice theInter had lost six consecutive derbies: once between 1911 and 1913, the other between 1946 and 1948. With another defeat, therefore, the Rossoneri would write an absolute negative record in the history of the derby of the Madonnina.
