He later expressed, "I really felt the pressure of those six derbies, especially considering my history. But I have to be honest, everyone on the team, even newcomers like Tammy and Fofana, understood the significance of this match and the weight it carried for us."
AC Milan defender Matteo Gabbia was full of pride after proving the matchwinner against Inter Milan.AdvertisementAdvertisement"Consequently we are happy this evening and it is right that we enjoy it this evening, that we celebrate a beautiful victory then from tomorrow we will start preparing for the next match because in any case this one, even if beautiful, is always worth three points."
On the squad's spirit, Gabbia continued: "The attackers, all of them. Today even Chukwu who came in a little, but everyone really gave us an incredible hand. The group really pushed on the accelerator this evening. It must be a good starting point for us, we took a great satisfaction, but the spirit we really have to try to make sure is always this. Because we deserve it, so, in 11 who run and help each other all together, we can take some great satisfaction."
On his first ever derby goal, Gabbia also stated: "It was perfect because there wasn't even that much left (laughs), so there was less time, let's say, to suffer in the last minutes. I'm very happy. Obviously it's a dream come true, and nothing, it must be a great satisfaction for me too, but from tomorrow onwards we'll connect our minds to what the future is, which is the most important thing."
