How many liters of urine run down the sewer system at the San Siro during a derby-night? How many pounds of crap weight down the seats in Curva Sud? At what level of decibel do we find the peak of the firework, the howling and the chants? Is there anyway to measure all the energy and passion in the hearts of the fans. I find it beautiful. I find it beautiful? I find it beautiful.

Derby della Madonnina, one of modern footballs biggest games. A derby is always hot everywhere you turn in the world, no matter what sport. It’s the local rivalry that splits and unites a city. But the derby between Inter and AC Milan stands between two of Italy’s biggest teams, one of the largest leagues in the world. Two clubs that reek of success. Inter and Milan. The rivalry is always there, during all woken and sleeping hours. The battles between the clubs does not get cooled down by the media either where you increase the temperature day by day until the final meltdown. Match-day where it is all decided who is the better team. The winner takes so much more than points walking home after a victory. The pride and mainly the right to brag for the opposing fans about the latest conquest, beating them.

Both teams have some amazing history since the split in 1908 where parts of AC Milan did not like the idea of only letting Italian players into the club, instead they formed Inter. After that, the clubs have went different paths with different stories. Many hard years for Inter up to 1964 and 1965 when Helenio Herrera took Inter to the European-titles. After that, the biggest accomplishment in the clubs history. The tremble from the 09/10-season. Inter is the team with third most titles in Serie A, in second place AC Milan who also have stories to tell. Most European-titles of all the Italian teams, a season in Serie B after a really heavy fall. Both clubs with great stories and great players. In Inter, legends are recognized by the names of Facchetti and Zanetti, whereas Maldini is the greatest of AC Milan. All of this wrapped up in one city. A city of finances. Industry. One of the fashion capitals of Europe and a high seat for Italy as a country. The derby splits this great city in two. In a country where football is a religion. A beautiful rivalry. How can it not be beautiful?!
