Inter coach Rafael Benitez has given Milan a cruel reminder of how carrying the favourites tag often backfires by triggering memories of the night Liverpool beat them in the Champions League.
Rossoneri striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic said on Thursday that his side will beat Inter to everything, adding that they are top dollar to scoop up all before them.
However, speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday's Udinese clash, Benitez told Milan not to get ahead of themselves.
"This week I heard that Milan are the favourites to win everything. That was also the case against Liverpool," he told the press.
"Everything was said before that game, until the end of the first half. After that things changed."
Former Milan ace Kaka, who played in the 2005 and 2007 Champions League finals against Liverpool, is now a transfer target for Inter.
But Benitez did not want to get drawn into the speculation as he treated the news with short shrift.
"Kaka is a player who is not in this team. I don't have to say anything. He is a good player, but I have a strong team and time to work," he added.
"We will see how we are in January."
