AC Milan will lock horns with bitter rivals Inter in the Champions League semi-final on Wednesday at the San Siro. The game will be broadcast live on BT Sport 1 in the United Kingdom.
In what has been an Italian renaissance in European football, four Serie A sides made it to the last eight of the Champions League and one will definitely fly to Istanbul for the final next month to take on either Real Madrid or Manchester City.
Stefano Pioli's Milan have conceded just once in the knockout stages this season of the Champions League and will be a tough nut to crack. Their last Champions League title came back in 2007 when they beat Liverpool to exact revenge for the heartache 2005 final.
Meanwhile, Inter brushed aside Benfica in the last eight to qualify for the semi-finals. Since then they have been in terrific form domestically, winning against Empoli, Lazio, Verona, Juventus and Roma, netting 15 goals and conceding just once in the process.
Their victory over Juventus in the Coppa Italia semi-final has set up a meeting with Fiorentina later this month, so the Nerazzurri are in tremendous form. They last won the continental trophy under Jose Mourinho in 2010 and will hope to lift the cup once again after more than a decade in June.

Milan team news
Tommaso Pobega and Zlatan Ibrahimovic will miss out on the Champions League fixture. However, it must be noted that the Swedish player has not been registered anyway for the tournament.
Pioli is sweating over the fitness of Rafael Leao as he was replaced by Alexis Saelemaekers against Lazio after he went off with a muscular issue, but he is likely to be included in the squad and could potentially feature if needed in the latter stages of the match.
In a chat with The Residency, the attacker said, "My injury, no worries. I'll be back soon. I am an optimist. I did treatment and sleep all day."
