Inter Milan striker Giampaolo Pazzini is eyeing the derby with AC Milan as a decisive game in their season.

Pazzini believes Inter can get back into the title race with a win over Milan later this month.

"The derby could be our springboard for 2012," the Italian international told the Gazzetta dello Sport on Monday.

"By beating Milan we would be back in the race. We'll have to treat that encounter as if it will be the biggest game of the year."
