It will be the first time the Milan giants have played each other in the Champions League after 2005’s so-called “derby of shame”, a quarterfinal won by Milan whose second leg was abandoned after livid Inter fans launched a barrage of flares onto the San Siro pitch with their team way behind in the tie. AC Milan’s last Champions League victory was in 2007 when they beat Liverpool 2-1 in the final held in Athens, Greece. On the other hand, Inter last won the Champions League in 2010, when they beat Bayern Munich 2-0 in the final in Spain’s Madrid.
