Match report: Milan 0 - Inter 4

Timeline of a disaster:

18'-- Gennaro Gattuso appears to have injured his leg but continues to play.
29'-- Thiago Motta scores for Inter (0-1).
35'-- Gattuso fouls Eto'o in the penalty area and is given a yellow card.
36'-- Milito scores the penalty kick for Inter (0-2).
38'-- Gattuso is too injured to go on and demands to be taken off. He continues to play while Seedorf takes his tracksuit off and gets ready to enter the game.
40'-- Gattuso fouls Wesley Sneijder and receives second yellow card. Gattuso is ejected and furiously throws his captain's armband to the ground.
45+'-- Maicon scores for Inter (0-3).
67'-- Stankovic scores for Inter (0-4).
90'-- Referee Nicola Rizzoli blows his whistle without allowing for any added time.
  • What this match teaches us: Milan may not be very good this year.
  • What else this match teaches us: It is quite possible that Gattuso is actually insane.

I saw the highlights for this on TV. I was hoping it was from their summer friendly or something.

No, it was not at all friendly.
