The attacking flair of Ronaldo and Djorkaeff will have to find a way to unlock the compact brilliance of AC Milan's classic back four. Sacchi's team pressed their defensive line high up the pitch, squeezing the space between the lines- so Djorkaeff may find it difficult to operate, especially with Rijkaard and Ancelotti snapping at his heals. At the opposite end, the combative Taribo West will have his hands full with Ruud Gullit's power and movement.
The Inter shape is quite narrow. There could be space out wide for Donadoni and Colombo to prosper in. But this is prime Ronaldo. He destroyed Milan in the 1998 derby and he is capable of winning this all by himself.
