AC Milan defender Daniele Bonera is more focused on the derby with Inter Milan than their Champions League tie against Zenit St Petersburg.

The 31-year-old centre-back has conceded that he is thinking only of the match against Inter at the weekend.

"It will be a special derby match," he told Sky Sports Italia. "We go into the game with better form than a few weeks ago, but the match itself has its own story.

"The last derby [a 4-2 Inter win] is in the past, we must now look ahead. Inter are a great team, it is a game which could end in any result.

"We feel strong, but only on the pitch will we see who is the strongest of the two sides."
