Ronaldo spoke about the match to 'La Gazzetta dello Sport'. "If they mean that both will fight for the 'Scudetto', ok, but AC Milan will have something to say about that," he said. 

The Brazilian was full of praise for Achraf, one of the most in form players at Inter. He took advantage to send a message to his former club Real Madrid: he thinks they made a mistake letting him go. "He''s an extraordinary player, Madrid were wrong to let him go like that," he said. 

"Sometimes I imagino myself with Achraf and I think... 'What speed we would have had!' He's one of Inter's big signings of the decade," he continued. 

He also highlighted Lautaro's great ability. "I like him because he is not afraid of anything. When he plays, he's lethal. If you get distracted, he does not let you off the hook. He is a proper striker," Ronaldo said. 

Lastly, he gave his opinion on the comparison between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lukaku. "They're different, but they have something in common. When a team have a player like them, it's difficult not depend on them," he concluded.
