On Tuesday, May 16, at San Siro, the second leg of the UEFA Champions League 2022–23 semifinal match will take place between Inter Milan and AC Milan. The Nerazzuri won 0–2 in the opening leg to establish themselves as heavy favorites to advance to the UCL final. Edin Dzeko and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, two former Roma players, scored early goals to give Inter their first-ever UCL victory against their main rivals, allowing Inter to advance to the final.
However, Rossoneri will not give up easily as they aim to overturn a two-goal deficit. Their recent performance and head-to-head record versus Inter, however, are not advantageous.Milan has suffered three losses in four encounters with Inter this year and is now five points behind Inter in the Serie A standings. Romelu Lukaku scored twice as Inter defeated Sassuolo 4-2 in their most recent league game, while AC Milan lost 2-0 to Spezia on Saturday.

Potential Starting XI
In the most recent Serie A game, Romelu Lukaku scored twice, but Simone Inzaghi’s team is expected to continue using Lautaro Martinez and Edin Dzeko up front. Despite missing the league game, Martinez and Denzel Dumfries are anticipated to rejoin the starting lineup. While Joaquim Correa suffered a slight injury against Sassuolo, center defender Milan Skriniar is still out injured.
The season is now over for Stefano Pioli’s top midfielder Ismael Bennacer, who suffered a knee injury in the first leg. David Calabria, the team captain, is anticipated to play at right defense, although Rafael Leao, the team’s standout striker, is still questionable after missing the Spezia game.
The following players might start for Inter Milan in a 3-5-2 formation: Andre Onana; Matteo Darmian; Francesco Acerbi; Alessandro Bastoni; Denzel Dumfries; Nicolo Barella; Hakan Calhanoglu; Henrikh Mkhitaryan; Federico Dimarco; Lautaro Martinez; and Edin Dzeko.
Mike Maignan; Davide Calabria; Fikayo Tomori; Malick Thiaw; Theo Hernandez; Sandro Tonali; Tommaso Pobega; Brahim Diaz; Rade Krunic; Alexis Saelemaekers; Olivier Giroud; AC Milan potential starting lineup (4-2-3-1)
