Italy are refusing to relax after the big Milan derby, which ended in an overwhelming 0: 3 for Inter, which was based at the top of Serie A with a four-point advantage over its rival and who until a few weeks ago seemed to be the main contender for the crown – Milan. The issue that was at the center of this derby, which is the media confrontation between Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Romulo Lukaku, continued to occupy the media in the boot country even after the match.
“Apparently Lukaku is not ‘such a small donkey’ as Zlatan thinks,” read the Gazzetta dello Sport, of course in the direction of the Swede for the things he said to the Belgian that ignited the first and sharpest confrontation between the two in the derby in the cup game. “Milan tried to get back in the game, but Samir Handanovic’s saves just killed Zlatan,” read the Gazette, referring to the Slovenian goalkeeper’s spectacular save against the Swedish giant in the opening of the second half.
But Lukaku stood in the spotlight and garnered the most compliments after his huge display. The Belgian striker so desperately wanted to prove he belongs on the list of the really great, and with wonderful cooking and a huge goal, overtook Cristiano Ronaldo on the way to 17 league goals and set a new record with a fifth consecutive derby in which he conquers. “It was his derby,” the Gazette wrote.
