It used to be the biggest derby in Italy, mainly due to the fact that Juventus and Milan are the most decorated clubs in the county. But those days are long gone and so is the quality of those games. Juventus won its last title in 2020, while Milan did it in 2022.

In fact, this ‘derby’ was awful and boring as so many in recent years. During the last five years, six of the 10 matches were draws, and seven of the 10 games had one goal or fewer!

The latest blow came in the form of a painful late defeat to Bristol City, after which it became clear that the Clarets are in serious trouble.We are..
