The iconic Milan Derby now has an official date and kickoff time following Inter Milan’s Champions League elimination.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Lega Serie A will make the official announcement on Friday.

Indeed, the league will soon confirm the schedule for the highly anticipated clash between Inter and AC Milan.

Cristian Chivu failed to navigate the Nerazzurri past Bodo/Glimt, who emerged as 5-2 aggregate winners in their knockout playoff tie.

Meanwhile, the outcome of that clash will affect Inter’s domestic calendar.

With Inter out of Europe’s most prestigious competition, they’ll face Massimiliano Allegri’s side on Sunday, March 8.

Furthermore, one of the most exciting fixtures in European football will kick off at 20.45 CET at San Siro.

Had the Nerazzurri overcome the Norwegian champions, the game would have taken place on Saturday, March 7.

However, there’s no longer any need for schedule adjustments, as Inter’s European commitments have come to an end.

On the other hand, Chivu’s men boast a ten-point lead over their bitter rivals at the top of the Serie A table.
