🚨In the end-to-end derby della Madonnina, Milan triumphs against Inter.

Milan got off to a fast start in the match, taking full advantage of Inter's configuration adjustment that caught them off guard. Christian Pulisic gave his team the lead after just ten minutes with a brilliant dribble that left multiple Inter players in his wake.

But the holders of the Scudetto started to show some composure, and they finally equalized just before the half hour when Lautaro Martinez found Federico DiMarco, the wing-back blasting low into the far corner.

Inter regained control of the game, and Mike Maignan stretched to deny Marcus Thuram five minutes before halftime. Just after the break, the Rossoneri came close to regaining the lead, with Yann Sommer forced to tip Rafael Leao's header over the crossbar.

Though Inter continued to have the majority of the ball, Milan came near again shortly after the hour mark when Tijjani Reijnders saw his effort palmed away by Sommer.

Lautaro Martinez was ruled to have handled the ball from a corner, but a VAR review overturned the penalty, ending Milan's chances of taking the lead.

Minutes later, the Argentine almost made a significant difference on the opposite end, but Maignan got in the way. Unfazed, Milan broke and made Sommer save yet another as the two teams pushed for a winner.

Milan kept getting their chances, and Tammy Abraham wasted a fantastic chance to put his new team ahead. But with two minutes left, Matteo Gabbia leaped to his feet to head in a free kick, giving Milan a well-earned three points that might just save Paulo Fonseca's job.

From Chloe Kelly to Naomi Girma, here are ten players that could move in January.

As the winter transfer market opens, we take a look at ten prominent players who may change teams next month. Naomi Girma Age 24 Nationality US Club San Diego Wave Girma, widely regarded as one of the top centre-backs in the world and recently named to the FIFA top XI, is nearing the final year of her contract, and speculation has grown that she may leave San Diego. Only the world's wealthiest clubs are expected to be able to afford her this window, and she has been connected with French giants Lyon, although Chelsea are also looking for a central defender after Kadeisha Buchanan suffered a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament damage. Chloe Kelly Age 26 Nationality English Club Manchester City Having started only one Women’s Super League game this season, a move away from Manchester City may be the solution for Kelly to secure more match minutes in her quest for a seat on the plane to Euro 2025 with the Lionesses next summer.

Rodri of Manchester City criticizes Real Madrid's tactics following their Champions League defeat: I only saw one squad.

Rodri complained about Real Madrid's tactics after Manchester City's painful Champions League quarter-final loss, saying he "saw only one team" striving to win. City's European title defence came to an end in agony on Wednesday at the Etihad Stadium, with the Spanish giants winning 4-3 in penalties after a 1-1 draw on the night made the tie 4-4 on aggregate. The holders dominated the match, with 33 shots on goal to the visitors' eight, but Real defended deep to frustrate them and ultimately extinguish their dreams of a second consecutive triple. City midfielder Rodri stated, "To be honest, I only saw one team. They defended well. They knew how to suffer, and we know how resilient Real Madrid is. "But, in my opinion, we should take that many chances; yet, this is the trick of this competition. They understand how to play it. We congratulate them. "We gave all, and there is nothing to regret. This can occasionally be football. This demonstrat...

Borussia Dortmund is 'considering a bid' for Marcus Rashford.

Borussia Dortmund is investigating a transfer for Marcus Rashford. According to the Athletic's David Ornstein, the Bundesliga club has joined the hunt for Manchester United's out-of-favour attacker in the summer. Rashford has become a peripheral character at Old Trafford with the arrival of Rúben Amorim, being dropped from four consecutive matchday lineups. He returned for a home loss to Newcastle but missed last weekend's draw at Liverpool due to illness, and his long-term chances remain bleak. Rashford has also been linked with Serie A giants Milan and Juventus, as well as many undisclosed Premier League suitors.

Barcelona's final attempt to register Dani Olmo will face a court battle.

Barcelona's chances of having Dani Olmo and Pau Victor available for the rest of the season appear to be dwindling. After missing the deadline to remain registered for the remainder of the season, Barcelona delivered La Liga all of the necessary documentation for the sale of their VIP seats, a deal worth an estimated €110 million that would allow them to do so. However, due to the missing deadline, La Liga would not allow Barcelona to keep Olmo and Victor registered, as rules prohibit players from being registered twice. As a result, Barcelona's sole contractual option is to file a court appeal to their decision. According to MD, they have a variety of legal options. They may claim force majeure, which refers to unforeseeable situations that prevent them from assembling the documentation for La Liga, but legal experts say that is unlikely to qualify for that verdict. However, according to the Catalan daily, the most likely argument is that the registration period be extended...

Manchester United defense underwent a minor cardiac operation.

Manchester United will be momentarily without the abilities of summer acquisition Noussair Mazraoui. On Thursday, conflicting sources suggested that the Morocco international had heart palpitations and was anticipated to be sidelined for the long term. According to an update from Manchester Evening News chief correspondent Samuel Luckhurst, the 26-year-old underwent a little preventive corrective operation and recovered completely. The fact that Manchester United views it as a “relatively common condition” and that the player should make a full recovery gives them hope. The Premier League team anticipates Mazraoui's comeback to action in the upcoming weeks, according to MEN. Concerning the player's situation, Manchester United has not yet released a statement. Under Erik ten Hag, the former star of Ajax and Bayern Munich has made ten appearances this season in all competitions.
