The Bianconeri host the Rossoneri on Saturday evening at the Friuli stadium on matchday 36, with Zapata admitting that his main concern in this clash is Milan's prolific striker Inzaghi.

Udinese defender Cristian Zapata is wary about the threat that the Milan attack might pose on Saturday. In particular, he is worried about Filippo Inzaghi.

The Bianconeri are in need of the three points to keep their Europa League ambitions alive, but the Rossoneri cannot afford to lose points in order to maintain their second place in the standings.

"In my opinion all the Milan attackers, starting from Pato, Kaka, and Inzaghi, are dangerous," declared the Friulani's player to udinese.it.

"In particular, Inzaghi is a player who when on the pitch creates problems for the opponent's defence. You must always be careful, because he moves well and sees the goal often, because he waits for the defender to make a mistake to score.

"The five goals from the first leg still burn. On Saturday we must play a great game and try to win. Everything depends on us, we must believe and remain concentrated for all three remaining games.

"We must give our best until the end. If we continue like this everything is possible, we must play every game to our best."

Udinese are currently in eighth place with 51 points from 35 games played, three points behind a European spot with just three matches to go before the end of the season.
