Inter has won only one of its past seven matches in all competitions since the start of February. That run has seen the defending Serie A champion fall off the top spot in the league and lose 2-0 at home to Liverpool in the first leg of their Champions League matchup.

It was also the fourth straight match in which Inter failed to score. The Nerazzurri have now gone more than 400 minutes without finding the back of the net.

바카라We바카라ve had lots of games and we need to rediscover our spark but we바카라re working on it,바카라 Inter coach Simone Inzaghi said. 바카라We still have the best attack. Going four matches without scoring obviously creates headlines but we바카라ll soon be scoring again.

바카라I think it바카라s only natural for us to drop off a bit now. We were going full throttle in November, December and January. We바카라re not playing as well as we were ... We바카라re trying to recover our physical and mental strength.바카라

Both teams had chances at San Siro and though neither goalkeeper was really troubled, Inter바카라s Samir Handanović did have to pull off a one-handed save to keep out a Rafael Leão curler at the start of the second half.

Milan hasn바카라t won the cup in nearly two decades 바카라 since 2003 바카라 while Inter hasn바카라t gotten past the semifinals since winning the last of its seven titles in 2011.

The Milan teams drew 1-1 in their first Serie A derby of the season in November, then Olivier Giroud scored twice when Milan beat Inter 2-1 three weeks ago in the league.

Defending champion Juventus visits Fiorentina in the first leg of the other semifinal on Wednesday.

The second-leg matches are scheduled April 20. The final is May 11.
