Inter wins third Derby della Madonnina of the season – Milan pins hopes on Leão

This is not the first time AC Milan and Inter have met in the Champions League semifinals. In 2003, Milan finally went through over two games on the basis of away goals scored (0-0 and 1-1).

Very different from today, it was a time when Italian soccer was still among the biggest leagues. At AC Milan, the starting lineup included Clarence Seedorf, Andrei Shevchenko, Andrea Pirlo, Paolo Maldini and Alessandro Nesta. Also playing at Inter with Hernán Crespo, Álvaro Recoba, Fabio Cannavaro and Javier Zanneti were enough players to make the hearts of soccer fans beat faster.
