Derby della Madonnina - 2005 Champions League Quarter Final - 12th April 2005
San Siro Stadio, Milan, Italy.

One of the most iconic photos of all time from calcio, rival's on opposite sides of the Milan derby and one of the fiercest derbies known these playersy united on the San Siro as flares rained from the stands. Materazzi and Rui Costa were both symbols of these Milan sides in that era and this shot will forever be truly iconic. As violence occurred in the stands and the San Siro went up in smoke Materazzi & Rui Costa stood side by side united in the centre of the pitch as all the drama unfolded.
