Interviewed by Amazon Prime, Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni talked about the Euroderby and the sensations one feels in a semi-final against Milan in the Champions League

“It feels good to hear Inter in the semi-final of the Champions League after all this time. After the 3-1 draw on the pitch, I’ve already thought about the semi-final derby. The best moment was when they lit the torches after Benfica, not I will never forget it. For 7-8 years I have always done Cremona-Bergamo, I did it with my father, a lot of km together. Even in the darkest moments my parents have always been close to me, they give you the energy to go go on. 20 years ago there were two draws, now we would go on. I was almost not born yet, I understand that it could be a trauma. But it can’t be revenge, let’s not think about a rematch.

Barella and I also have a great relationship off the pitch, which is why it’s easy for me to look for him on the pitch as well. He always makes that movement, I have to put it there and he scores. Mino Favini taught me a lot of things, he paid a lot of attention to the technical aspect and this helped me to be the player I am. Having arrived here, the final is a goal, you have to do everything to get there. I’m very attached to my hair, I’d be willing to shave to get to the final.
