The last time Inter played Milan in the fifth round of Serie A, with the Nerazzurri three points ahead of the Rossoneri, was in the 1930-1931 season.
On the eve of that derby, in fact, the Beloved had 4 points (1W – 2D – 1P), while the Devil chasing with a score of 1 (0W – 1D – 3D). In the other 4 Milan derbies in the fifth round, Inter were ahead twice (1955-1956 and 1957-1958), with a 2 and 1 point advantage respectively; in 2 other circumstances (1967-1968 and 2003-2004) Milan were ahead, always by 2 points.
The balance of this Inter-Milan in the fifth leg of a top championship? Two wins for the Nerazzurri, as many X signs, 1 victory for the Rossoneri, with 6 goals scored by each side.
In 2003-2004 it was 1-3: Inzaghi in the 39th minute, Kaka in the 46th minute, Shevchenko in the 77th minute, Martins in the 78th minute.
In 1967/1968, here is a 1-1: Benitez in the 58th minute and Rivera in the 78th minute.

In 1930-1931 another 1-1: own goal by Miltone in the 5th minute, Serantoni in the 80th minute.
But there is another curious fact about these particular derbies… that will make the Nerazzurri fans do all the jinxes possible.

Finally, in 1955-1956, it was Fiorentina who celebrated.
