“It will be an important game in which we want to do well, but the season is long and it certainly won’t finish after the derby,” the outspoken patron told Il Corriere dello Sport.
The Italian media have dubbed Saturday’s enticing affair as the ‘title decider’ as Serie A leaders Milan hold a slender two-point advantage over their rivals going into the clash.

The Nerazzuri supremo also expressed his desire to see the continuation of a recent trend of attractive matches between the bitter rivals.
“Winning it is always a pleasure. It seems that the tradition of recent years is positive too, or am I mistaken?”

“Derby wins are all great, but I like to remember last year’s 4-0 win when Inter were perfect.”
The Rossoneri bucked a run of three successive derby losses by winning November’s fixture 1-0 thanks to Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s early penalty.
