Inter's disappointing performance in the derby continued into the night, with a protest by the Curva Nord against the team, which appeared on the pitch without grit, conviction, anger and concentration. Furthermore, the players immediately headed towards the changing room tunnel after the final whistle, without greeting or apologizing to the fans who had tried to support them until the last moment. This was the message placed on the Curva Nord banner during the night, with a very harsh criticism directed at the black and blue players: "A derby lost without playing. You didn't even have the courage to greet them".
Milan won the derby 3-1 against Inter, deciding the match within ten minutes. This time, coach Chivu's team did not have the strength to pull off the upset. They could only dream of it, like a crazy idea that crossed their minds when Bastoni narrowed the gap midway through the first half. But it all turned out to be an illusion, on an evening that had started in the worst possible way, with Pulisic and Rabiot punishing Inter twice in the space of 10 minutes. The situation worsened completely when Moreira asked Modric for permission to take a free kick near the area.
“Go on, you can score,” the Croatian told him. The explosion of the red and black fans at San Siro accompanied a wonderful goal from the penalty kick. Everything went according to Amorim's wishes, who thus took revenge for the heavy defeat against Bologna. For Chivu, on the contrary, everything went wrong. The plan to face the challenge with Thuram as a lone striker failed from the start. Meanwhile, today Lazio can climb alone to the top of the championship, if it manages to defeat Cagliari at home.
