? Inter Milan were organised into Antonio Conte’s favoured 3-5-2 formation, led by the front two of Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sánchez. #DerbyMilano
? While they were defending they adjusted to adopt a 5-3-2, through wing-backs Antonio Candreva and Ashley Young withdrawing into defence. #DerbyMilano
? The increased number of penetrative runs their attackers made during the second half meant that they posed a more consistent attacking threat. #DerbyMilano
? AC Milan defending in deeper territory also contributed to Inter’s central defenders advancing with possession, in their attempts to draw an opponent, and to create two-on-ones. #DerbyMilano
? Milan remained in a 4-2-3-1 formation, in which Zlatan Ibrahimovic featured as their focal point and central attacker. #DerbyMilano
? They defended with that same shape; Andrea Conti, Simon Kjaer, Alessio Romagnoli and Theo Hernández formed their four-strong defence. #DerbyMilano
? The body positions of Ante Rebic and Samu Castillejo were key to the press Milan attempted to apply, ultimately to prevent passes from central defence to Inter’s wing-backs. #DerbyMilano
? Milan also regularly played towards Ibrahimovic, ahead of him setting possession towards a teammate, and then a switch of play. #DerbyMilano
