AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud has said that he is excited about facing Inter and he thinks that it is a great rivalry, according to a report in the Italian media today. 

Speaking during an interview with Sport Mediaset today, via FCInternews, the French forward discussed the upcoming Derby della Madoninna which takes place on Saturday evening at San Siro.

He is an experienced forward whose opinion on clashes such as this one are widely respected. He clearly has a lot of respect for the history of the fixture, especially given the two goals he scored in it last season which was when the Scudetto momentum swung the way of the Rossoneri’s way.

“I’m excited because it is a special match for us and for the fans. It’s a great rivalry.”

He is expected to lead the line for his side in the game and he could have new signing Charles De Ketelaere behind him. With Rafael Leao to his left, Inter will have their work cut out to get a clean sheet.
