The news is official: the Milan derby between Milan and Inter will be played on Monday, April 22nd, and no longer on Sunday, 21st. The decision came after a request from the Rossoneri due to the close commitment (the previous Thursday) against Roma in the Europa League. It has never happened before in history that the Milan derby was played on a Monday, but it has already happened that it was played on different days of the week compared to the canonical ones (Saturday and Sunday). The San Siro match will be the postponement of the 33rd round of Serie A, scheduled at 20:45. In the first leg, on September 16, Inter thrashed Pioli's team 5-1, highlighting the new signings Thuram and Frattesi. This time the scenario could be completely different. The Nerazzurri are leading the championship, but Milan, already in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, has snatched second place from Juventus and does not want to stop. Acerbi-Juan Jesus, what happens now? The sports judge does not decide, the Figc prosecutor moves. Can Inter be crowned champions of Italy against Milan? Given the draw of the Nerazzurri in the last round against Napoli, that against Milan may not be the right day to mathematically become champions of Italy (currently Inter at +14). But it is still not impossible for this to happen. Should Inter win the next three matches and Milan draw at least one of the three, then Inzaghi's team would arrive at the derby with a 16-point advantage and, in case of victory, would be mathematically champions. The complete schedule from the 31st to the 33rd round was officially announced on Wednesday. Also noteworthy is the Rome derby between Roma and Lazio on April 6th. 31st round: Friday, April 5, 20:45: Salernitana-Sassuolo Saturday, April 6, 15:00: Milan-Lecce Saturday, April 6, 18:00: Roma-Lazio Saturday, April 6, 20:45: Empoli-Torino Sunday, April 7, 12:30: Frosinone-Bologna Sunday, April 7, 15:00: Monza-Napoli Sunday, April 7, 18:00: Cagliari-Atalanta Sunday, April 7, 18:00: Hellas Verona-Genoa Sunday, April 7, 20:45: Juventus-Fiorentina Monday, April 8, 20:45: Udinese-Inter. 32nd round: Friday, April 12, 20:45: Lazio-Salernitana Saturday, April 13, 15:00: Lecce-Empoli Saturday, April 13, 18:00: Torino-Juventus Saturday, April 13, 20:45: Bologna-Monza Sunday, April 14, 12:30: Napoli-Frosinone Sunday, April 14, 15:00: Sassuolo-Milan Sunday, April 14, 18:00: Udinese-Roma Sunday, April 14, 20:45: Inter-Cagliari Monday, April 15, 18:30: Fiorentina-Genoa Monday, April 15, 20:45: Atalanta-Hellas Verona. 33rd round: Friday, April 19, 18:30: Genoa-Lazio Friday, April 19, 20:45: Cagliari-Juventus Saturday, April 20, 18:00: Empoli-Napoli Saturday, April 20, 20:45: Hellas Verona-Udinese Sunday, April 21, 12:30: Sassuolo-Lecce Sunday, April 21, 15:00: Torino-Frosinone Sunday, April 21, 18:00: Salernitana-Fiorentina Sunday, April 21, 20:45: Monza-Atalanta Monday, April 22, 18:30: Roma-Bologna Monday, April 22, 20:45: Milan-Inter.
