The roar of San Siro was a living, breathing beast, a sound that wrapped itself around Leon Fischer and vibrated through his bones.
He stepped off the team bus, his Inter Milan tracksuit, and took a deep breath.
This was it. The Derby della Madonnina.
Inside the locker room, the atmosphere was a controlled storm.
Coach Chivu moved with a quiet intensity, his eyes sharp as he delivered final instructions.
Roberto Mancini, his assistant, offered calm, reassuring words.
Leon looked around at his teammates.
Lautaro Martínez. Julián Álvarez. Nicolò Barella and Hakan Çalhanoğlu.
Leon found his spot, pulling on his iconic No. 10 jersey.
The fabric felt light, yet carried the weight of expectation.
He thought about Xavi Simons (Potential: 94, Current: 86) on the other side, the rival playmaker.
As they walked out for warm-ups, the noise hit him like a physical force.
The stadium was a kaleidoscope of black and blue, with splashes of red and black from the AC Milan fans.
