Laurens Rafael Leao shone as AC Milan emerged victorious from Saturday's Derby della Madonnina against city rivals Inter. This 3-2 win for the reigning champions is not decisive in the title race but it showed that whoever wants their crown will have to fight hard to get it. His second one is a tribute to the great George Weah with so many similarities in how he took that goal, his little hook and finish. Serie A's player of last season was outstanding with two goals and an assist. And Rafael Leao is the undisputed king of the city.

Milan, for now, is AC Milan's kingdom while Inter are now two points behind their archrivals in the table. It had everything: goals, drama, suspense, quality individual performances, mistakes (look away now Hakan Calhanoglu) and a winner.

While we wait for other big derbies, other big top of the table clashes or other mouthwatering matches between European giants, Saturday's Derby della Madonnina between AC Milan and Internazionale was the first big blockbuster of the current season and it was awesome.

It will be interesting to see how traders now respond as we’ve seen how keen they are to hop aboard the “dovish pivot” train before. They’ll have no opportunity to react to the release ahead of the meeting and there was perhaps a feeling that a softer reading could see market expectations slip which they clearly want to avoid. It seems policymakers were keen to reinforce their hawkish position ahead of the blackout period – which we’re now in – potentially with an eye on that data point.
