However, Inter has never managed to defeat their rivals in any of those encounters.
The first meeting in Europe took place in the 2002-2003 season during the semi-finals, and Milan advanced to the final based on the away goals rule (0-0, 1-1) and went on to win against Juventus at Old Trafford.
The second and last encounter took place in the 2004-2005 season, known as the "Derby of Shame," which was halted for half an hour due to hooliganism in the stands. Milan also eliminated Inter in the semi-finals after the referee disallowed a goal for Inter.
Despite many years passing since those matches and changes in the composition of players in both teams, the competitiveness and atmosphere between the two teams remain intense, especially after many years of both teams reaching the semi-finals—13 years for Inter and 16 years for Milan.
