The Derby della Madonnina is being played thousands of kilometers from Italy. At the Optus Stadium in Perth, at 1 PM Italian time, Milan and Inter face each other in a friendly that retains all the charm of the city rivalry. On the Rossoneri bench sits Ruben Amorim, while the Nerazzurri bench is entrusted to Cristian Chivu.
The official line-ups see Milan set up in a 3-4-2-1: in front of Torriani will play Pavlovic, Gabbia, and Tomori. On the wings Musah and Bartesaghi, in midfield Loftus Cheek and Fofana. Chukwueze and Cissé will play behind the lone striker Camarda.
Inter responds with the classic 3-5-2: Martinez in goal, defense made up of Pavard, Bisseck, and Bastoni. In midfield Diouf and Dimarco on the wings, with Barella, Stankovic, and Zielinski in the center. Up front, the pair Iddrissou and Esposito.
Both benches offer plenty of rotation: Amorim can count on Leao, Modric, and Nkunku among others, while Chivu has Frattesi, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, and Bonny available to give new energy to the team.
