Ciprian Tetarushanu, the best player of “Milan” in the derby with “Inter”.

The Romanian goalkeeper received 6 points from SempreMilan and 6.5 from Corriere della Sera (highest points for a player from Stefano Pioli’s team).

“Inter should have been 1-0 after just six minutes but he made a brilliant save in front of Lautaro Martinez. He also had a few other decent interventions, so he gets a passing grade.”- Always Milan.

“The fact that he is criticized for everything, even for smog and traffic in Milan, is one of the mistakes of the Milan team. He’s not the champion, really, but it’s 4 losses in a row and it’s not all his fault. He made a great save at 0-0 and kept the Devils alive in the waning moments of the first half. The sooner you understand it, the better” – Corriere della Sera.
