Inter lost the derby della Madonnina against AC Milan by 3-2 at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milan's San Siro district. The Nerazzurri scored the first.

Joaquin Correa – 4,5: Got an assist for the opening goal but was absolutely invisible until he was brought off. Marcelo Brozovic – 6: Scored the opening goal and was the only Inter player who looked like he actually wanted to play football. Needs to repay the confidence Simone Inzaghi has put in him. Got a good goal and helped Inter create problems for AC Milan. Hakan Calhanoglu – 4,5: Started off OK but fell off a cliff after the “assist” for Milan’s opening goal. Got a good assist after an intelligently timed run which Inter for some inexplicable reason didn’t utilize for often. At only 30 years of age he plays like an old man at the twilight of his career. Clearly affected by the yellow card and let Theo Hernandez get under his skin. Isn’t good enough to be Inter’s starting goalkeeper right now, let alone the captain of the team. Fails even the most simple of tasks. Stefan de Vrij – 3,5: By far his worst performance in an Inter shirt. Milan then took over completely and Inter were lucky to go into half-time with a 1-1 scoreline.
