Inter Milan's 1-0 win over AC Milan in the Milan derby shows how the club has matured into something greater than the sum of its parts, playing with confidence and control. The win also opens the door to the UEFA Champions League final in Istanbul on June 10. Inter's veteran midfield and manager Simone Inzaghi deserve credit for their performance, as they pushed on and trusted their rearguard to nullify Milan's attacking threat. Inter's newfound maturity defies their tragic history of bad decisions, unforced errors, psychodrama, chaos, and squandered opportunities.

A photograph taken during the 2005 Milan derby, which was paused due to fan violence, has become an iconic image of friendship in football. The photo shows Inter defender Marco Materazzi with his elbow resting on the shoulder of Milan midfielder Rui Costa, as they watch the chaos unfold. Photographer Stefano Rellandini captured the moment and says it reminds him that football is not just about fighting between supporters, but also about camaraderie and friendship between players. As the teams prepare to meet again in the Champions League semi-finals, Rellandini reflects on the meaning of the image and its lasting impact.
