Inter hitman Diego Milito is under no illusion about how difficult this afternoon’s Serie A home clash with Fiorentina will be.

The Viola make the trip north with their morale sky-high after becoming the only Italian side to book their place in the last 16 of the Champions League with a game to spare this week.

But Inter can ill afford to drop points on home turf ahead of a crunch visit to second-placed Juventus next weekend.

“We must win against Fiorentina to maintain our lead over the other title-chasers,” Milito told the Corriere dello Sport.

“This is no time to look back over our shoulders. We must only look ahead and take it one game at a time.

“First Fiorentina and then Juve. It won’t be easy against the Viola. [Cesare] Prandelli’s men have proved their worth in the league and especially in the Champions League. Therefore, they deserve to be respected.”
