“We know it is an important game that both sets of fans really care about, but it’s a football match and must be seen as entertainment,” Pirlo told Sky Sport Italia.

Last season Pirlo’s free kick knocked Fiorentina out of the Europa League, while in Serie A the Bianconeri fumbled a 2-0 lead to lose 4-2.

“What’s been is been, there are three points up for grabs and we must put in a great performance to get the victory.”

Carlos Tevez is rested ahead of Tuesday’s crunch Champions League tie with Atletico Madrid, so Kingsley Coman and Fernando Llorente start together for the first time.

However, Pirlo would not be drawn on the upcoming continental showdown.

“This is the game, then there will be time to think about the others.”
