INTERNAZIONALE president Massimo Moratti believes Serie A rivals Juventus have set the benchmark for his club to aspire to.
With the two Italian giants locking horns at Stadio Delle Alpi on Sunday, Moratti is fully aware of the importance of the match.
Moratti claims the contest is the pre-eminent fixture in Italian football and has more significance than the Milan derby.
The Inter supremo also considers The Old Lady to be the Serie A standard-bearers and the club he judges his own expectations for success by.
"It's like a semi-final, not a final," opined Moratti. "Whoever loses will surely have more problems for morale than in the standings.
"Milan's derby has a big significance but Juve-Inter is everything. Juve-Inter is the history, not only chronicled, but because it is the sum of the charm of Italian football.
"More than Juve-Roma, more than Milan's derby. Not casually, is this match considered Italy's derby.
"For me and my family, Juve still represent the high reference point with which to estimate our ambitions."

Funny how Inter and it's fans feel Inter-Juve is the most important game whereas Milan fans feel the Milanese derby is the most important game:
MILANELLO - Carlo Ancelotti had also a word for the big clash between Juventus and Inter: 'I hope they will draw, so that we can gain precious ground on the head, if we win again Atalanta. The differences between Juve vs Inter and the Milanese derby? It's a different rivalry, Milan vs Inter is more exciting, you can hardy explain what you feel.'
So I guess Juve-Inter is the most important match because it's recognised as such by both parties!

I never said I've forgotten it. Read it again.
A fan supports his team through the good and the bad. Think of people who support teams in the English Conference or something. You think they go nuts and say they are never going to watch their team after a bad outing? Think of Fiorentina fans. Do you think they all jumped ship after they got sent down to one of the lowest divisions in the Italian pyramid?
Read my statement above. Hell, I'll repeat. Saying you aren't going to watch matches because of one bad outing is pretty crap.
That is all.

I honestly dont think ManU broke us down. The thing that broke us down in that 3-0 defeat was ourselves. We commited so many errors and Manchester's goals were fed to them. They did not earn it. They just had to stay on the pitch and we gifted them these goals. It was really disappointing but I hope we can bounce-back really hard from this.
