Twice every season the Milan Derby or the Derby della Madonnina as it is known in Italian is played between Milan and Inter. These are seen as two of the most important derbies in football and are always highly anticipated events in the Italian sports calendar. Occasionally there have also been derbies in the Champions League, Coppa Italia, Super Coppa Italiana and the Birra Moretti Trophy. Currently, Milan lead Inter with 104 wins to 89 in total respectively. However Inter has a better record in Serie A with 59 wins to Milan's 56. The match usually creates a lively atmosphere within the San Siro with numerous (and often humorous) banners unfolded before the match which are specifically made each year for the match. The use of flares by the clubs ultras is also a frequent sight. However as much as this derby is usually played in a friendly atmosphere, the derby has also had its share of controversy, most notably the Champions League quarter final of 2004/2005 which was abandoned after Milan keeper Dida was struck by a flare thrown from the Inter supporters section. ^[5]
