Milan against Juventus, a special game that has made history and has seen quite a few legends.

Who's seen a lot of these clashes is Arrigo Sacchi, interviewed by La Gazzetta dello Sport the day before Milan - Juventus: "The injuries are hurting Milan, but the Rossoneri have to look the Juventus' squad in the eyes, without being afraid. I'm not saying Milan have to press crazily in attack, but they can't only rely on defense. They'll have to play a balanced game like Gattuso's players can do. Ringhio is a phenomenon, he's given a soul to Milan. He makes the team play a nice football, his team only lacks a bit of speed and pressing. These players won't ever give up though, they also win the games in the last seconds. And Rino is one that gives his life to football and his players".

"Gattuso has given dignity back to a team that lost it, he's made his players understand what it means to play for Milan. Juve has an incredible potential though, with players that can decide the faith of a game at any moment. I'm not only thinking about Cristiano Ronaldo but also about Dybala, Cuadrado, Mandzukic. How to beat them? Press them, and keep them far away from your goal, Juve remains dangerous even far away from the rossoneri's area, but you can deal with them. On the other hand, if they get closer from Donnarumma, the problems would begin".

About Ronaldo: "When my Milan played against Maradona's Napoli I said: the important is that not a lot of balls get to him, get him fewer balls than he usually gets and you can only get there by pressing your opponent. Higuain? He needs the ball in his feet, he's used to talk with his teammates and go help them".
