Watch: Superstitious Fan Performs Ritual to Help Losing Team in AC Milan vs Inter Game, Team Ends up Winning

Serie A was at one time one of the best leagues in the world with clubs like AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Juventus fighting for the top honors in Europe. The clubs have a lot of history of winning prestigious trophies, but it has all gone downhill in recent years.

The last time an Italian club won the UCL was in 2010 when Jose Mourinho’s Inter Milan completed the treble. However, even though the clubs aren’t doing well in Europe, the competition has improved a lot domestically, with Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Napoli competing for the Serie A title.

Inter were ahead in the table by four points before their match against AC Milan. The Milan derby wasn’t just important for the Serie A table, it’s about who gets the bragging rights in the city, and this time, AC Milan came out on top.

A thrilling Milan derby decided by a fan?

The game lived up to the hype as the match was hotly contested by both sides, with chances flying all around the pitch. However, Ivan Perisic scored first for Inter Milan from a corner. The game came to a deadlock and neither side could score till the final fifteen minutes.

An AC Milan fan who was watching the match switched his seat to change his team’s fortunes in the 70th minute. That seemed to do the trick for the club as Olivier Giroud netted the equalizer after five minutes in the 75th minute. As if that wasn’t dramatic enough, Giroud went to score the winner of the game three minutes later as the fan went wild.

AC Milan and their prospects in the Serie A

After their derby win, Milan is sitting in third place at the table, just one point behind leaders Inter Milan. Napoli is second with the same amount of points as AC Milan, and they are ahead by virtue of their goal difference.

However, Inter have played one game less than both Napoli and AC Milan and if they win their game in hand, their lead would swell to four points again.
