"I would like Inter to win the derby because Leonardo's team would take the lead at the top but wouldn't escape and then we could overtake them by winning the match scheduled at San Paolo with the help of 80,000 friends," Cavani said.

"It's great to be masters of your own destiny, don't you agree? Instead with a different result it would all depend on Milan and their results.

"This is our hope. The Scudetto is a dream. Inter and Milan are stronger. We must add into consideration our happiness, our freshness and our clear heads. They have to win the Scudetto. We can live game-by-game.

"Our principal objective is to qualify for the Champions League," he concluded.
