Balon d'Or winner Fabio Cannavaro doesn't make it
The city of Milan is preparing for the Derby della Madonnina UEFA Champions League semifinals between AC Milan and Inter, as the two teams meet for the second time in history in the competition's semifinals and the third time overall. The city rivals met for the first time during the 2002-03 season, exactly twenty years ago, when the Rossoneri knocked out the team coached by Hector Cuper and finally won the cup after beating Juventus in penalties in the first-ever Italian final.
AC Milan went through with two draws (0-0 and 1-1) thanks to the away goals rule and the deciding goal scored by Andriy Shevchenko, something that this year can't be repeated as away goals no longer exist.
Back then, it was one of the most tense derbies of all time, and this figures to be no different.
