AC Milan vs Inter Milan LIVE: Champions League latest updates
AC Milan’s Tomori on UCL semi-final derby versus rivals Inter
Milan’s two biggest clubs meet in the Champions League final four hoping to book their place in the European final. It is the first time in 20 years that AC Milan and Inter have clashed so late in the competition but their meeting guarantees a first Italian competitor in the final since 2017.
Both clubs have history in this competition, Inter last won the trophy in 2010 under Jose Mourinho while Milan dominated the Champions League at the start of the millennium and in the 90s. They have been evenly matched domestically with the pair currently fourth and fifth in Serie A, and both teams will recognise this major opportunity to return to European football’s biggest stage.
The fitness of AC Milan star Rafael Leao is the big talking point ahead of the game but Milan will make a late call on his participation after the Portuguese winger suffered a muscle injury. The winner of this semi final will face either Real Madrid or Manchester City in Istanbul on 10th June after the Spanish and English champions played out a 1-1 draw in their semi-final first left last night.

AC Milan 0-2 Inter Milan
16 mins: Off the post! Inter are really trying to put the tie to bed. A driving effort to Hakan Calhanoglu sees the midfielder’s shot from range strike the post.
It comes out to Nicolo Barella who lays it off to Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The goalscorer shoots but his soft low effort is kept out bu Mike Maignan.

AC Milan 0-2 Inter Milan
13 mins: Talk about imposing yourself, Inter Milan have done that and some in these opening stages. If AC Milan can’t stem Inter’s attacking prowess – or maybe score themselves – they’ll be out of this tie before half-time.
Lots of work for the seven time Champions League winners to do here.
