Summary
Milan arrives for the match excited after having eliminated Napoli-ITA, who conquered Calcio this season. Coach Stéfano Pioli stressed that the Rossoneri need to maintain the level of their recent Champions League appearances to have a chance of advancing.
“It’s going to take a lot of teamwork, as we’ve seen in the last four Champions League games. To get an exceptional result, you have to do an extraordinary job and we’re going to try. I hope I’ve managed to convey to the players above all the happiness and enthusiasm we should have in preparation for the match,” he said.
However, Milan may have an important absence. Midfielder Rafael Leão is undergoing intensive treatment after suffering a muscle injury and is still a doubt.
On the other hand, Internazionale has been growing production in this final stretch of the season. The team passed Benfica-POR with authority, with two victories over the Portuguese.
Coach Simone Inzaghi downplayed Inter’s recent record in the classic. For the captain, each game “has its story”.
“The games against Milan so far have their own story. We are not hiding: with heart and mind, we want to play together. . We have to be very well and very concentrated. In the last two we were lucid, we covered every centimeter of the field and we were united. It will have to be like this now too. I expect a very important double challenge that will mean a lot for everyone, but I’m calm”, declared .
Internazionale has the duo Lautaro Martínez and Lukaku to seek a good result.
