Heading to Inter-Milan, Max Allegri reunites with his protégé and bets on golden pair

The time for Derby number 250 in history is approaching. Inter-Milan is just around the corner with both teams eager to bring home the three points at stake and send a clear message to their rivals. At the moment, the Nerazzurri are first in the standings, alongside Gasperini’s surprising Roma, with the Diavolo just two points behind. In case of success, the Rossoneri would leap ahead of their “cousins”. All the more reason to be ready.

Allegri has more than one reason to smile. First and foremost, after a long stop, he rediscovers his protégé Rabiot. With the Frenchman in the middle of the field, Milan has almost always won. With Gimenez forced to the pits, there will be Pulisic to lend a hand to Leao in attack.

The starting eleven against Inter is almost certain. In front of Maignan, Tomori, Gabbia and Pavlovic will act, that is, the defensive trio that gives more guarantees. On the flanks, space for Saelemaekers and Bartesaghi, the latter favored over Estupinan.

No doubt about the midfield three, namely Fofana, Modric and the returning Rabiot. Forward, space for the golden pair formed by Leao and Pulisic. The latter, finally fully recovered, is eager to return to make a difference on the field. It should be recalled that the American went into the net in the September 2024 derby (2-1 to AC Milan).
