part 15 of the stoked series

the infamous 2003 UEFA Champions League Semifinal  derby

it doesn't get any better than this:
the top of the table clash between eternal derby nemesis Milan and Inter

the Rossoneri are in pole position in Serie A with 62 points from 30 matches, two points clear of second-placed Nerazzurri. With only 7 games remaining, the showdown would certainly tip the balance of the Scudetto, not to mention the ultimate bossing bragging right in the province of Lombardy

talking about the derby (often dubbed as 'Derby Della Madonnina') i would like to revisit a classic  encounter back in season 2004 when Inter was leading Milan 2-0 (goals by Stankovic and Zanetti), only for the latter to score 3 times and won the game! (Tomasson, Kaka, Seedorf). 
Checkout hilight below, especially the long range missile strikes by Kaka & Seedorf.  
Epic stuff!
