Milano is the city dominated by rivalry between the two city's soccer teams, Inter and AC Milan. Neither Manchester nor Madrid can outshine the combined class of Milano's two arch-rivals, each of which has won a string of European cups.

The Derby d'Italia (English: Derby of Italy) is the name of the football derby between Internazionale of Milan and Juventus of Turin. The term was coined in 1967 by Italian sports journalist Gianni Brera. It is the equivalent of Spain's El Clsico and France's Le Classique.
