After being outplayed in the previous four games, AC Milan needed to come out and make a statement in the derby tonight at San Siro. The reply was forceful, but in a bad way.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan (twice), Marcus Thuram, Hakan Calhanoglu, and Davide Frattesi scored Milan’s goals as they fell to Inter, handing them their worst loss in a long time and ending their season without a loss.
After losing 3-0 in the Supercoppa earlier this year, 1-0 in Serie A, and 3-0 on aggregate in the Champions League semifinals, Milan was under pressure to bounce back, but instead they appeared to regress.
As a result, Milan has been declared the official loser in each of the five 2023 Milan derbies, with a final score of 12-1 overall and across three different tournaments.
The figures clearly show that there hasn’t been a contest and that Stefano Pioli needs to offer some real solutions to the way Simone Inzaghi’s team plays.
