Scoring against them
For an AC Milan player, scoring against their city rivals is always a pleasure and, luck for us, the rossonere really enjoy finding the back of their net. On those 5 games, Milan have scored 18 goals against the nerazzurre, their second favorite victims, behind Pink Bari (29 goals).Scoring against them
AC Milan have, also, against Inter the third higher goal average (3,6) since its creation on the 2018/2019 season.
The AC Milan’s Queen of the Derby
Slovenian midfielder Dominika Čonč is the official AC Milan’s Queen of the Derby as she bagged 4 goals in 4 matches played against city rivals. However, she is closely followed by Giacinti (3 goals) and Dowie (2 goals).
Always a winner, never with a clean sheet
Although AC Milan have beaten Internazionale every time they face off, there has not been a clean sheet. While 18 goals were scored by the rossonere, they’ve conceded 7 goals to the nerazzurre. Only Fiorentina (11 goals) and Juventus (8 goals) have a higher tally of goals against AC Milan.
The Wild Card
If Dominika Čonč is the AC Milan’s Queen of the Derby, Italian striker Gloria Marinelli, who have also found the back of the rossonere’s net 4 times, surely is the wild card for Internazionale.
