Overtaken by Napoli in the Italian, Milan and Inter face off in the semifinals of the Coppa Italia

Milan e Inter face each other in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinals this Tuesday, at San Siro, at 17:00 (Brasília time). Last weekend, the teams stumbled and were overtaken in the Italian Championship by Napoli, who is now the leader.

The Coppa Italia semifinals are precisely the only stage in the competition with home and away matches. This season should be the last with an away goal as a tiebreaker. The change is in line with the main knockout competitions in Europe, such as the Champions Leaguewhich abolished the rule as of this edition.

Unbeaten for six games, including a win against Inter and a draw with Juventus for the Italian Championship, Milan will have an important absence in the offensive sector. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with an Achilles tendon injury, did not recover in time and remains out.

Inter Milan, on the other hand, is going through a troubled moment in the season. The team is third in the national league, with 55 points, two behind Milan and Napoli, but has not won in four games, with only one goal scored in this sequence.

The return game is scheduled for April 20, also at San Siro, but this time with Inter.
