One of Europe’s biggest derbies, between two of Serie A’s biggest teams, will occur on Sunday, as AC Milan and Inter Milan gear up to lock horns this weekend.
The last time the two Milan giants clashed, it was the Nerazzurri who come out victorious, winning 1-0; however, Rossoneri top scorer Carlos Bacca is aiming at gunning down their neighbors this time around, and with a very special type of goal.
Speaking ahead of the game on Sunday, the Colombian striker admitted that he is keen on repeating the rabona goal he scored in the 2-1 Coppa Italia win over Carpi in the upcoming Milan derby.
"Every youngster imagines the kind of goal they want to score. Some dream of doing it from the middle of the pitch, some with an overhead kick," the 28-year-old former Sevilla star said.
"I'd always wanted to score with a rabona. I tried with all the teams I've played for, but until a few days ago I hadn't succeeded, until the game against Carpi.
"I know Mihajlovic told me off for the rabona against Palermo, but I was sure I would score and it was the quickest way to strike the ball and anticipate the defenders.
"It would be great if it happens against Inter and I'll try it if I get the chance. But all that counts is scoring, it doesn't matter how. And that you win, of course."
Carlos Bacca, with 10 goals this season, is aiming at scoring a rabona in Sunday's Milan derby
Roberto Mancini’s crew head into the fixture in poor form, with only one win in 2016, having grabbed victory once in their last 7 games in all competitions.
Nonetheless, Bacca claims that form amounts to nothing when it comes down to big-stake games such as the Milan derby.
"Derbies are like finals - you just need to win.
"I hear that Inter aren't in a good condition at the moment, but these are games which do not follow the usual logic of the league.
"We need a winning mentality to get the three points."
