The second Derby della Madonnina this season went to Milan. The Rossoneri won 1:0 against Inter at the San Siro, the same result as at the end of November last year. The hero of the match was Pervis Estupiñan, who scored the only goal of the match in the 35th minute.
Milan secured that goal a big victory in the city derby and remained in the race for the championship title.
They are now seven points behind Inter, so the battle at the top of the table is heating up again.
He played at a high level once again Luka Modric.
Although he recently turned 40, the Croatian midfielder was once again one of Milan’s key players.
He controlled the rhythm of the game, played with his teammates and led the team from the midfield, and he did not avoid tighter duels and defensive tasks.

I have been to Zadar at least five times. I know how special this place is and I know that some of the best people in the world came from Zadar. You, Pulisic’s grandfather, Zlatan’s mother and our own Pete Radovichyou are all from there. What is it that makes you so special?
Modrić answered that this is often asked by Croats around the world.
Everyone keeps asking us what is special about Croats. Honestly, it’s hard to explain. God has obviously gifted us with something special. We are a very proud people, we like to fight, we are ready to suffer and in a way we enjoy it. That’s why it’s hard to explain it in a nutshell, but we can be happy because we have so many great people around the worldhe said Croatian captainreports HRT.
Milan’s victory in the city derby further boosted the team’s confidence, and Modrić’s new mature game showed that even at the age of 40, he remains one of the Rossoneri’s key players.
