Inter Milan Set to Clinch Title Against AC Milan
Inter could mathematically seal their twentieth 'Scudetto' on April 22nd at San Siro, in a true 'Derby della Madonnina' against Milan, a golden opportunity to lift a historic title that has never happened in a match between Inter and Milan.
Never before has a Milan derby decided a Serie A title, but this coming Monday, April 22nd, could change that statistic. Also, this match has never been played on a Monday before, but it will be this time as Milan has a crucial Europa League quarter-final match on the preceding Thursday.
Milan's draw against Sassuolo (3-3) leaves Inter in an enviable position to end the season against one of their historic rivals.
Inter already has the mathematical chance to lift the title on April 22nd. Inter Milan will need a victory against Milan to be crowned champions. This would give them a 16-point lead with 5 games remaining (15 possible points).
Milan will be the home team at the stadium they both share. There was a possibility that the 'rossonera' fans might not want to risk seeing their arch-rivals celebrate the 'Scudetto' in the most important match of the year, but tickets are already close to selling out, and San Siro will be 'rossonero,' as reported by Italian media on Wednesday.
Some Inter fans were hoping this wouldn't happen so they could buy the remaining tickets during the general sale phase, but the 'nerazzurri' will have to settle for the 7,500 seats allocated to the away fans.
With uncertainty surrounding the future of both clubs regarding the stadium, as both have considered leaving San Siro, and the nightmare Milan experienced in 2023 in the derbies against Inter, losing all 5 matches, Inter's hypothetical victory makes the upcoming match one of the most important duels in recent years between the two clubs.
