Inter's Denzel Dumfries big-ups UEFA Champions League semi-final clash against Milan.
Inter Milan right wing-back Denzel Dumfries says he looks forward to his side's matchup against their local rivals AC Milan in the semi-final of the Champions League, saying the showdown will be special.
The Nerrazurri booked a place in the next round of the competition after knocking out Benfica. Although they played a 3-3 draw at the Giuseppe Meazza in the second-leg, a 2-0 first-leg victory for Simone Inzaghi's men earned them a 5-3 aggregate triumph.
What Dumfries said
When the draws for the quarter-finals were made, the likelihood of a Derby Della Madonnina in the semi-final of the Champions League was on the cards.
Following Milan's triumph over Napoli and Inter's over Benfica, both teams are set to go head-to-head in Europe's elite competition.
Inter's Dutch wing-back, like many, says he is looking forward to the tie, believing it will be special.
However, he revealed that they avoided speaking of the possibility of facing the rivals with whom they share a stadium until they did the job against Benfica.
