Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji has issued a warning to Inter Milan ahead of the upcoming Milan derby, with the Nerazzurri looking to extend their lead in the Serie A title race. The Swiss international's comments come as Inter prepare for a crucial match against city rivals AC Milan, with a victory potentially giving them a significant advantage in the Scudetto chase.

The derby, one of football's most historic rivalries, takes on added importance this season as both clubs compete for domestic supremacy. Inter currently sit atop the Serie A table, while AC Milan remain in contention for Champions League qualification.

Akanji, who has faced Italian opposition in European competition, emphasized the intensity and unpredictability of the fixture. The match follows Inter's recent UEFA Champions League encounter against Club Brugge in the 2026-27 league phase.
