The only thing more
exciting than one Derby in a week is when there are two Derbies in the same
week. And that is happening this week. In addition to our mens’ Derby on
Saturday, Milan Ladies are playing their Derby tonight against Inter Femminile.
Whereas the
mens teams drew back in November, Milan Ladies have a loss to avenge from
their home derby, also in November.

Milan
Ladies have the misfortune to
be facing the lesser Baresi’s daughter (Franco Baresi’s niece) once again, who
is captain of Inter Femminile. But that won’t stop them from fighting for the
win like people do only in a derby. Additionally, they’ll play a rare night
time game, with kickoff at 9pm local time. They are coming off of a win and two
draws, so will be especially hungry for the victory.

| The last Derby didn't end well for our Ladies, let's support them tonight for the win! |
This derby won’t be shown
on TV, but the Milan Ladies were on TV over the past weekend, with a second
visit to the Calcio Champagne
show. You can find all of the video clips and photos
on Twitter @MilanLadies. You can support the women by following their accounts and send your messages of support to the team.

For the mens’ Derby, we
have to wait until Saturday to see how it plays out. But if you want to know
how the women of Milan represent the red and black jersey, follow @MilanLadies
on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook for all of the details. Let’s hope that the
women can avenge their November Derby loss and set a good precedent for the men
on Saturday. Because the only thing better than a Double Derby week is a Double
Derby win.
Forza Milan Ladies!
