AC Milan won the Derby della Madonnina 1-0 following a first-half goal by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
“It was a very important victory because it helped us to detach ourselves from Inter,” the defender to Milan Channel.
“It had been a while since we last won a derby match, and we needed to this evening.
“Even with 10 men on the pitch, we risked a lot. Now, we must not give up and look to keep on going as strongly as we have.”
