Milan might record a historic first this evening if they defeat Inter in the Coppa Italia semi-finals. This is the fourth edition of the Derby della Madonnina this season, after the teams met twice in Serie A and in the Supercoppa Italiana final. Milan have the chance to secure a historic hat-trick. That gives the Rossoneri a unique potential to make history by defeating Inter in three different tournaments in a single season. Milan has never accomplished this feat, although Inter did so in the 2022-23 season. The Nerazzurri won once in Serie A, once in the Supercoppa Italiana, and both Champions League games. Milan began the season with a 2-1 Serie A victory in September 2024, then rallied from 2-0 down to win 3-2 and lift the Supercoppa Italiana in Riyadh on January 6. Sergio Conceicao was only in control for his second game after taking over for Paulo Fonseca. Meanwhile, Inter avoided a third straight defeat by scoring a stoppage-time equaliser in the return Serie A match...
Chelsea will once more be thrilled to have the legendary Cole Palmer on their team.
Additionally, Manchester City will be miffed at themselves for letting him go after their Saturday draw with Newcastle.
The Englishman is pulling strings at Stamford Bridge against Brighton to help spark a comeback, just as he has done the entire season.Palmer eventually found his touch with a magnificent hat-trick within ten minutes of hitting the post early in the first half and having a goal disallowed for offside.
After making a last-ditch dash into the area and smashing the ball into an empty net, the 22-year-old earned a penalty and completed a first-half hat-trick with a stunning left-footed free shot from 25 yards out.
He now has the joint most hat-tricks in the Premier League of any Chelsea player with three. Then he made one better move.
Palmer scored an incredible fourth goal in the first half, finishing at the near post after starting inside the penalty box. He is the first Premier League player to accomplish this goal in history.
Palmer has contributed to more goals than he has made appearances for the Blues in the English premier league, which only helps matters more.
