Daniele De Rossi asks Milan what they’d rather have – a Champions League spot or the satisfaction of seeing Inter throw away the Scudetto?
The joking comment came ahead of tonight’s Stadio Olimpico showdown between Roma and the Rossoneri with both sides chasing crucial points.
“If I were Milan, I’d play a ‘relaxed’ game,” he told Roma Channel, grinning from ear to ear.
“Between fourth place and the satisfaction of making Inter lose the Scudetto, I’d have no doubts what I would choose!”
The Nerazzurri seemed to have the title sewn up, but in recent weeks Roma have cut their lead down to just six points.
Roma need a victory to maintain the pressure at the top, but Carlo Ancelotti’s side also require points to chase Fiorentina for a spot in next season’s Champions League.
“We hope to win,” added De Rossi in a more serious mode. “We did so in the away leg earlier this season, but Milan have only one objective left and so it will be even tougher.”
