Inter lost 1-3 to AC Milan in the Derby della Madonnina while managed by coach Cristi Chivu. The visiting team fell behind 2-0 within the first ten minutes of the match and could not recover from the early deficit against their city rivals.

Following the final whistle, Inter players did not approach the supporters to greet them. In response, the Curva Nord displayed a banner stating that the team had lost the derby without playing and lacked the courage to acknowledge the fans after the match.

The banner in the stadium addressed the players directly and did not explicitly request Cristi Chivu's departure. However, separate reports indicate that some Inter fans demanded the coach's resignation on social media platforms following the defeat.

Fan criticism cited by various outlets targeted the team's tactical choices and inability to recover after the disastrous start. Comments referenced by virgilio.it included demands for Chivu's departure and criticism of his tactical experiments during the derby.

Additional online comments quoted by Digi24.ro called for specific changes beyond the coaching position. These messages cited goalkeeper Martinez and midfielder Barella alongside Chivu as figures who should no longer hold their current roles at the club.
