Cristante didn’t want to reveal anything about the Giallorossi’s lineup: “There’s not much time left, you’ll see how we play. These are games where formation, day, and other details don’t matter much.”

The midfielder concluded by discussing the importance of the match: “We’re ready; we all know how important this match is. Not just because it’s a derby, but also because of our objective to qualify for the Champions League.”
