Sébastien Frey, former french goalkeeper, who spent the majority of his career in Italy playing for Inter, Parma, Fiorentina and Genoa, commented about the Rossoneri's overall recent performances. He entrusted Libero with these words:
"The Rossoneri have become the team to beat, despite the Nerazzurri squad being more profound and qualitatively superior. Milan, however, have an unbeatable team spirit: the amalgamation that has been created between them is making a difference together with the presence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic."
