It’s another significant obstacle that we have to overcome,” said Allegri after Wednesday’s match.A humiliating 4-1 defeat for Inter away to Fiorentina then paved the way for Milan to move up to third place, and on Thursday key Inter defender Andrea Ranocchia picked up a knee niggle that could rule him out for Sunday.Stramaccioni, however, pledged that Milan’s heroics in Europe will count for nothing on Sunday.“It’s a derby match, we know that Milan are in great form, but we need to compete and we will,” said Stramaccioni.
