Before the derby between Inter and AC Milan there is always a lot of attention on the Curva Nord and the Curva Sud, given the incredible spectacles they have provided in the past in terms of displays.
As La Gazzetta dello Sport report, it will be a derby without choreography, at least for the Inter side. The decision linked to the shock after the events in Cernusco on September 4; the murder of Antonio Bellocco at the hands of the now ex-Inter ultra leader Andrea Beretta.
It was the latter, after confessing to the crime, who spoke of disagreements and resentments born from the management of some business related to the Curva. Now that a new board has been installed, led by another historic ultra, Renato Bosetti, the decision has been made to accompany the derby only with black and blue flags that will wave before the start.
Furthermore, given the upcoming home Champions League match considered high risk, the prefect of Milan – Claudio Sgaraglia – has installed a ban on the sale of tickets to residents of Serbia for all sectors of the stadium and the non-transferability of tickets, in addition to the sale for all sectors of the stadium only to holders of the Inter loyalty card.

‘We’ve a lot of work to do’ – Spain manager picks out one player for special praise after Turkiye draw
Spain mathematically assured their place at the 2026 World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States with a 2-2 draw against Turkiye on Tuesday night. Manager Luis de la Fuente assured that there was much work ahead, as their winning run was halted, but their unbeaten run extended. La Roja will next be in action in La Finalissima in March, where they will take on Argentina for the Copa Artemio Franchi. De la Fuente assured MD that there was plenty of work ahead, but was happy with the qualifying campaign, with Spain topping the group. “There’s still a long way to go until March, we’re very excited but there’s a lot of work to do and time to think about many things.” “We’re happy and content. This makes us appreciate the run of results we’ve had. We’re happy to be at a World Cup and to have qualified the way we did.” ‘Today I learned how difficult it is to win’ – de la Fuente Many in the Spanish media were casting the result as a warning against complacency, or a Spain side that has been blowing teams away. The reverse leg saw Spain win 6-0 in Konya, and de a Fuente looked on it positively. “Today I learned how difficult it is to win, and it’s good to be reminded of that from time to time. This Jiminy Cricket reminds us how difficult it is to win.” Praise for Spain’s number one Late on Samu Aghehowa might have won it for La Roja, but de la Fuente described it as ‘normal’ that he might get over-excited while playing for Spain. They were only in that position due to several strong saves from Unai Simon in goal, and de la Fuente was keen to praise him. “Unai Simon is performing exceptionally well, and today he had a very important performance. Unai is a legendary goalkeeper, in terms of statistics, figures, and his future potential. In my opinion, six of the ten best goalkeepers in the world are Spanish. That’s incredibly fortunate.” Records extended for La Roja The match also saw one record set, and another extended. De la Fuente’s Spain are now 31 games unbeaten, with their penalty shoot-out loss to Portugal in the Nations League officially going down as a draw. Meanwhile Mikel Oyarzabal became the first player to go nine straight games scoring or assisting for La Roja.
Steelers work out two QBs amid Aaron Rodgers injury
With Aaron Rodgers dealing with a left wrist injury, the Pittsburgh Steelers worked out veteran quarterbacks Jason Bean and Tanner Mordecai on Tuesday, per Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio. The Steelers currently have three quarterbacks on their 53-man roster and zero on their practice squad. Backup Mason Rudolph, and third-stringer Will Howard will both move up a spot on the depth chart for at least a week, leaving the Steelers without a third option should either of them get injured. Bean, 26, signed with the Colts as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Kansas in 2024. He did not make the 53-man roster, but stuck around on the practice squad for the entire season. He was waived during final roster cuts this year and did not draw practice squad interest from the Colts or any other team. Mordecai is also a 26-year-old who entered the NFL as an undrafted rookie in 2024. Mordecai finished his college career at Wisconsin and signed with the 49ers last spring. He spent the season on San Francisco’s practice squad and was repeatedly cut and re-signed during training camp as the team balanced their other roster needs. He was waived due to injury a final time during roster cuts. The Steelers did not sign Bean or Mordecai, though that could be coming in the next few days as they continue to assess Rodgers’ wrist. They could also work out other available quarterbacks later this week.
Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase’s One-Game Suspension Upheld
According to Michael Signora, the NFL has upheld Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase‘s one-game suspension for spitting on Steelers DB Jalen Ramsey in Week 11. The incident sparked a commotion in Sunday’s game, where Ramsey threw a punch that got him ejected. Ramsey later said Chase spat on him, which provoked him. Chase denied it, but video from the game showed he was lying. The NFL has put an extra emphasis on sportsmanship this year, ejecting Eagles DT Jalen Carter for spitting in Week 1 and treating that as a de facto suspension by fining him a game check as well. He will now miss Cincinnati’s game against the Patriots in Week 12. A suspension costs Chase a game check worth $448,333 and a $58,824 active roster bonus. Chase, 25, was a two-year starter at LSU and a unanimous All-American during his sophomore season. He opted out of the 2020 college football season due to the pandemic. The Bengals took Chase with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. He was in the fourth year of a four-year, $30,819,642 contract with the Bengals that included a $19,774,285 signing bonus when the Bengals picked up a fifth-year option worth $21.816 million fully guaranteed for the 2025 season. The Bengals and Chase then agreed to a massive, four-year, $160 million contract extension. In 2025, Chase has appeared in 10 games for the Bengals and caught 79 passes on 117 targets for 861 yards and five touchdowns.
What Could Possibly Stop Carlos Alcaraz and Andy Roddick? Andy Roddick Has a Theory
In the ever-shifting landscape of men’s tennis, two names have cemented themselves at the peak: Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. Their rivalry has become the stuff of legend, a seemingly endless chess match where each player adapts and counters with frightening speed. But according to former World No. 1 Andy Roddick, their dominance isn’t just about blistering forehands or impossible gets. It’s about something far more unusual in the hyper-competitive world of professional sports: brutal, public honesty. Roddick, never one to mince words on his Served with Andy Roddick podcast, pointed out a shared trait between the two young titans that he finds frankly astonishing. It’s a level of self-awareness and vocal admission of weakness that Roddick admits he, and most of his peers, never possessed. Roddick: Alcaraz and Sinner’s Honesty is “Insane” Let’s be real, top athletes are usually masters of the non-answer. They’re trained to project confidence, to never show a crack in the armor. But Alcaraz and Sinner? They’re tearing up the playbook. Roddick highlighted a moment after Alcaraz lost to Jack Draper at Indian Wells. Instead of trotting out tired cliches, Alcaraz was disarmingly candid. “He walks in, he goes, ‘I’m trying to find it, I’m insecure, I was nervous’,” Roddick recounted, almost in disbelief. “I don’t know if we’ve ever had two guys be as honest about their deficiencies when the rest of the world doesn’t see any.” He then turned his attention to Sinner, who, after a stellar season that included a Wimbledon title, offered a similarly stunning post-mortem following his US Open defeat. “Sinner goes in… fresh off winning Wimbledon, not really losing to anyone not named Carlos… He walks in and goes, ‘I need to change a lot.’” For Roddick, this is what separates them from the pack. It’s not just talent; it’s a cold, hard assessment of their own game, even at the pinnacle of success. “That is an insane amount of self-awareness, and certainly an amount of self-awareness that I never had,” Roddick confessed. “To know that you’re, if not the best in the world, one of two, and to walk in straight after the US Open and have that clarity of what comes next, that’s not a normal thing.” Roddick’s Theory When you’re nitpicking players as dominant as Alcaraz and Sinner, you have to look beyond their opponents. According to Roddick, their biggest challenge might not be another player at all, but something far more elemental: the blistering Australian heat. “If you get on the wrong side of that heat in Australia, I think Sinner has shown that, if anything, the heat can get to him a touch,” Roddick explained, pointing to Sinner’s history with cramps in hot conditions. He didn’t let Alcaraz off the hook either, recalling the Spaniard’s full-body cramps during the French Open. “I think the single biggest factor is going to be conditions. If they get one of those days where they feel like they’re playing in a hair dryer, I think that is going to be the biggest thing, maybe not necessarily matchups.” It’s a refreshingly honest take. When two players are this good, maybe the only thing that can level the playing field is Mother Nature turning up the thermostat to “unbearable.” The Never-Ending Rivalry Chris Eubanks, a recent guest on Roddick’s show, chimed in, marveling at the back-and-forth nature of the Alcaraz-Sinner saga. One moment, Sinner is steamrolling the competition, the next, Alcaraz finds a way to claw back a victory. They trade blows like heavyweight boxers, learning from each loss and returning stronger. “The corrections they are making and learning from each loss, they are able to flip it, find ways to get better, and then come out on top the next time, it’s remarkable,” Eubanks said. This constant evolution, fueled by an almost pathological need to improve, is what makes their rivalry so compelling. They aren’t just playing matches; they are engaged in a high-speed, public game of self-improvement. While Roddick may have been impressed by their honesty, it’s this relentless drive to patch up those self-identified “deficiencies” that truly keeps them a step ahead of everyone else. And honestly, we can’t wait to see the next chapter.
