Inter Milan's winless streak in the Derby della Madonnina extended to eight matches after a 3-1 defeat to AC Milan on October 31, 2026, during the 2026-2027 season. The loss continued a run spanning three different AC Milan coaches.
Inter conceded two goals in the opening ten minutes through Christian Pulisic and Adrien Rabiot. Alessandro Bastoni pulled one back, but Diego Moreira's free-kick restored Milan's two-goal advantage. Moreira also provided two assists in the match.
Inter have conceded 13 goals in the early campaign, the most among the top five Serie A teams, with many coming in the first half. Midfielder Nicolo Barella highlighted the team's mental and tactical issues after the match.
Head coach Cristian Chivu made significant tactical changes due to injuries to captain Lautaro Martinez, Curtis Jones, and John Stones. Strikers Francesco Pio Esposito and Yann Bonny were not fully fit. Chivu deployed Marcus Thuram as lone striker with Andy Diouf and Petar Sucic as attacking midfielders, Djed Spence and Carlos Augusto on the wings, and benched Federico Dimarco.
The tactical adjustments failed to address defensive vulnerabilities, and Inter's struggles may reflect deeper issues. However, they remain near the top of the Serie A table and face Como at San Siro next week before the November international break.
