Adrien Rabiot put AC Milan in command of the Madonnina derby in the 10th minute on Saturday, deflecting a corner-kick delivery with his left foot — without control, pure touch — to make it 2-0 against Inter Milan in Serie A.

The Rossoneri had already struck hard: Christian Pulisic opened the scoring in the 4th minute, launching a blistering start for the hosts. Rabiot’s goal, the French international midfielder signed on a free transfer last summer, confirmed Milan’s dominance in the first half.

Inter responded through Alessandro Bastoni, who reduced the deficit with a header in the 23rd minute (2-1). The Nerazzurri remained in the match despite a catastrophic start.

This clash pitted Serie A leaders AC Milan against Inter, fifth in the standings before kick-off. The Rossoneri had not lost to their rivals since April 22, 2024, a streak that illustrates their ability to resist Inter even during seasons of great dominance by the defending champions.
