One of the great footballing derbies takes place today as the iconic San Siro plays host to the Milan derby pitting AC versus Internazionale.

The Milan derby used to be one of the Europeans biggest attractions with both sides comprised of some of the biggest names in the world but the fallen giants are rebuilding their dynasties as they bid to make a comeback on the footballing stage.

As they renew hostiles in the game billed as Derby della Madonnina, 11-years ago they played out a thrilling 4-3 encounter with Inter claiming a famous victory.

Inter raced to a three goal lead thanks to goals from Hernan Crespo, Dejan Stankovic and Zlatan Ibrahimovic before Clarence Seedorf replied. Materazzi then made it 4-1 as Alberto Gilardino and Kaka added late consolations.

Milan's legendary defence included Alessandro Nesta, Kakha Kaladze, Cafu with Paolo Maldini restricted to the bench not to mention boasting the likes of Seedorf, a prime-Kaka and Andrea Pirlo among others in the middle of the park.

Meanwhile their fierce rivals had an equally legendary back-line with the likes of Javier Zanetti and Ivan Cordaba as well as a feared strikeforce in Crespo and Ibrahimovic. Time to gawk - Check out the respective sides below:
