AC Milan and Inter have teamed up with DAZN to stage the first ever virtual Derby della Madonnina on Pro Evolution Soccer, with the one-off event set to kick off on Friday afternoon.
With the football season currently on hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, two of the biggest clubs in Italy have come up with a new way to engage with fans who are likely to be missing the weekly buzz of top-flight Serie A action.
Milan have organised the upcoming virtual derby as part of a series of initiatives to unite all fans during the ongoing fight against Covid-19, which has caused 18,279 deaths in Italy to date.
