The Serie A championship It’s been over for a month now but the Derby della Madonninaas well as the rivalry between Inter and Milan, resonates continuously; this year, among other things, it is much more heated considering that i Nerazzurri they conquered the 20th Scudetto right at the home of the Rossoneri, during the derby on 23 April.
A success that gave the Nerazzurri team their second star, in a San Siro colored in red and black: until now it had never happened that a team won a Scudetto at another’s home, even more so in a Milanese Derby.
Inter and Milan they face each other at least twice a year on the field, but between two Milanese clubs there is a constant rivalry, even when we aren’t playing. The latest episode occurred during Euro 2024during the challenge between Holland and France, which ended in a draw. The two protagonists of the “clash” were Dumfries, the Nerazzurri winger, and Maignan, the AC Milan goalkeeper.
Holland-France, Dumfries against Maignan: derby again
In these days the Euro 2024 group matches are being played: some teams have already qualified for the final phase, while others are fighting to get through to the round of 16. They are also registered in group D Holland and France: in the Orange teamthe Nerazzurri play Dumfries and De Vrji while in the French one the Rossoneri play Maignan and Theo Hernandez.
Everyone expected a physical-verbal duel between the two wingers, Dumfries and Theo Hernandez, also given their precedents in their respective Scudetto celebrations, but this time theDutch he took it out on the doorman, Mike Maignan. The reason for the discussion dates back to the goal disallowed by Xavi Simons, due to an active offside position by Dumfries, who was in the path of the shot and prevented the Rossoneri goalkeeper from having a perfect view.
Dumfries himself commented on the incident, explaining his version to Corriere dello Sport:
The goal was good, I don’t agree with considering my offside active. I wasn’t obstructing Maignan’s view: I stopped because I knew I was beyond the last defender. I repeat, it was not a goal to be disallowed. However, it wasn’t a simple decision for the referee, it took the VAR three minutes to confirm it.
Once again it’s a Derby between Inter and Milan, despite the Championship having ended a while ago, but as we know, these historic rivalries will never end.
