Inter are second in the league behind the reigning champions, who will make it 50 games unbeaten if they do not lose.

“This is an important match and different from the others, but if we hadn’t done well in our fixtures so far then this appointment would not be so crucial,” Cambiasso told Sport Mediaset.

“It is too early to talk about the Scudetto, but Inter are back where we belong – fighting for the top places.”
