The first leg of the semi-final of the Coppa Italia between AC Milan and Inter ended at 0-0 on Tuesday evening. The most impressive moment came before the derby, when Ukrainian football icon Andriy Shevchenko appeared on the big screen in San Siro with a message against the war in his country.

A hug for everyone,” said the former top striker as the tens of thousands of fans in packed San Siro first became very quiet and then loudly applauded.
