We live in strange times. A racist misogynist has been democratically elected president of the United States, former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson has accused someone of a hate crime without a trace of irony and, just five months after joining Inter for just under 30 million euros, Gabriel Barbosa has seen just 16 minutes of game time.
Admittedly, some things are more significant than the others - but the Milan derby is always an important occasion for Inter fans and many of them are presently asking them why their star summer singing from Santos will not start Sunday’s showdown at San Siro.
