Inter vs Milan: Coppa Italia Semi-Final Second Leg

The San Siro will host a crucial derby as Inter and Milan face off in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final. The tie is delicately poised after a 1-1 draw in the first leg three weeks ago, with former Milan player Hakan Calhanoglu canceling out Tammy Abraham’s opener.

Both teams enter the match following league defeats – Inter lost to Bologna and were caught by Napoli at the top of Serie A, while Milan fell at home to Atalanta and now look to the Coppa Italia as a route into Europe next season.
