It will be the third time the two Milan clubs have met in the Champions League knockout stages. AC Milan won both encounters, firstly in the 2002/03 semi-finals, advancing on the away goals rule after the tie had ended 1-1 on aggregate and going on to win the trophy. The Rossoneri then dominated Inter 5-0 on aggregate in the 2004/05 quarter-finals.
Not only in UCL but the Milan Giants will also lock horns for the battle to qualify for next season’s Champions League. Inter, fourth in the Serie A table in the last of the Champions League qualification places, lead fifth-placed AC Milan by two points with four games left.
