The Milan derby has been transformed into a real "VIP derby": the fans of the two teams have created two celebrity teams, with a Top 11 for Milan and one for Inter, in which not only footballers but also artists, presenters and figures from the world of entertainment play. The idea, proposed by the TMW TUTTOmercatoWEB website, imagines a match in which the "strengths" are not expressed in tactics or man-marking, but in different personalities and talents.
For Milan, the lineup was built around figures who represent the contemporary Italian panorama. In goal is Gerry Scotti, a well-known television presenter, followed by Teo Teocoli and Massimo Boldi, both entertainment experts. The midfield is occupied by Jannik Sinner, the young tennis player who brings his "backhand" to the court, and by chef Carlo Cracco, who "promises to serve balls... al dente". In attack, the team is completed by Laura Pausini, Zucchero, Lazza, Emis Killa, Jake La Furia and Rkomi, a combination of singers, rappers and artists who guarantee a department of great impact.
Inter, however, chose to transform their dressing room into a real television studio. Paolo Bonolis is in goal, followed by Nicola Savino, Amadeus and Fiorello, all hosts and personalities from the world of entertainment. The midfield is occupied by Vasco Rossi, Luciano Ligabue, Max Pezzali, Biagio Antonacci and Elio, all nationally renowned singers, while in attack there is Francesco Renga and the driver Valentino Rossi, who, accustomed to overtaking on the track, could also attempt some forays on the wing.
The final result of the "VIP derby" was decided by the public, who voted for the two Top 11. Milan obtained 11 points, while Inter obtained 10 points, with the difference of just one point. Despite the difference in scores, both teams demonstrated a strong presence of personality and talent, with a combination of music, comedy, sport, television, rock and motorsports.
