"It's a derby that could become decisive because if Milan win they'd find their confidence again."

Asked if Zlatan Ibrahimovic's absence would hurt Milan, Rivera said: "A team is great if it can do without a player, if its collective value makes the difference.

"Ibra is important, but you never win anything by yourself."
