AC Milan hero Nesta warns Inter: Euroderby not over

AC Milan hero Alessandro Nesta insists the Champions League semifinal between the two Milan clubs isn't settled.

Inter lead the tie 2-0 ahead of this week's second-leg.

Nesta said, "Too bad about how the first leg ended for Milan. The pressure was as great in 2002-2003 as it is now: then there were those who couldn't sleep, those who felt tremendously the event and the approach to the double challenge.

"It's been a terrible week. Ancelotti prepared the match carefully and asked the full-backs, especially in the first match, not to push. One was Costacurta to be more covered... The difference between the derby then and today is that in 2003 you knew that if you passed, you could win the Champions League. Now against City and Real it will be tougher.

"Milan must recover Leao, but he must be well, not just stay on the pitch. It happened to me to be in the lead, but then to concede a goal and get into difficulty. At La Coruna for example.. In my opinion, it's not over. Home factor? The fact that Inter will play at home won't affect it, also because the two teams are used to San Siro."
