"The game between Inter and AC Milan at San Siro on Sunday night will see two Italian powerhouses face each other, but with a global feel. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) write, 18 nations are involved tonight and 18 players are already confirmed for the World Cup. The total isn't 36, but it's a global battle. The Scudetto derby is also a worldwide derby, both in terms of television audience and the nationalities represented."
"Internazionale still lives up to their name though, starting with coach Chivu, who is Romanian, and assistant Kolarov, who is Serbian (like Milan's Pavlovic). Two continents are embraced: Europe and South America, not to mention the slice of Asia in the form of the Turkish player Calhanoglu, the great former player, who is also the team's strange top scorer (5 goals) and has already scored three goals against Milan in derbies."
The San Siro match between Inter and AC Milan involves players from 18 nations and includes 18 players already qualified for the World Cup. France supplies seven players across both squads, while multiple Swiss players are also present. AC Milan currently has 12 players directly qualified for the 2026 World Cup, whereas Inter has six, with several Italians awaiting play-off outcomes. Inter's staff includes Romanian coach Chivu and Serbian assistant Kolarov. The squads span Europe, South America, and Asia, featuring players such as Calhanoglu, Lautaro, Carlos Augusto, Luis Henrique, Estupinan, and Pulisic.
