Ideal Inter and Milan Combined XI: Do you agree with our writers?

Ahead of the Derby della Madonnina, the Football Italia writers have all chosen their ideal combined XI players from Inter and AC Milan, but what would your version be?

It kicks off at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, also known as San Siro, at 19.45 GMT on Sunday.

While the Nerazzurri have had by far the better results overall in Serie A and the Champions League in recent years, that has not been reflected when going head-to-head with their bitter city rivals.

The Rossoneri have won three of the last five meetings with their neighbours, drawing the other two between Serie A, the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana.

Their rivals haven’t tasted success since a 2-1 result in April 2024.

So we asked the Football Italia writers to each pick their combined XI for the two squads and we’d love you to tell us your versions in the comments.
