Antonio Conte’s side leapfrogged Milan on top of the Serie A table last weekend with the two clubs meeting tomorrow in a derby clash.

“Inter need a perfect game, just like the one they played against Juventus,” Materazzi told Lega Serie A’s channel.

“Milan deserve respect because they are doing a sporting miracle, I hope Inter prevail as I think the Nerazzurri are superior,” the Italy World Cup winner added.

Materazzi played along with Ibrahimovic at Inter, but would he pick the Swede or Romelu Lukaku?

“Ibra has a great particularity: he never wants to lose. That being said, I pick Lukaku because he is our striker and because he is younger.

“However, they are both crucial for their teams.”
