I was carrying a lot of stress, and I even threw up at the end of the test. On my way back, someone I wouldn't even call a fan came up and asked me to say hello, and I said that 'Forza Lazio' that has gone down in history, also because it was filmed. But no one knew what had happened beforehand.

Leeds United are looking to sell Illan Meslier in January. The French goalkeeper has fallen down the pecking order at the English club, and he needs to move on in order to play regularly. Sitting on the bench at Leeds will not benefit him at this stage of his career. Meanwhile, a report from SpazioMilan claims that AC Milan are interested in providing him with an exit route.

In addition to Santiago Gimenez, Zachary Athekame will also miss out on the big derby between AC Milan and Inter, as confirmed by Massimiliano Allegri earlier today. Injuries have been a hot topic for Milan this season, having been forced to sideline some of their stars for multiple weeks. Now, however, the situation is looking a lot better as Christian Pulisic has regained full fitness, while Adrien Rabiot returned to training this week.

This is a fascinating match for all it represents, and we know what it means for the fans. They want to have a relaxing Monday without getting mocked by their friends, and this is what makes football so great. We know what we want to do. The world is watching us.

The AC Milan squad were given another boost ahead of the derby as Franco Baresi was welcomed back to Casa Milan. As La Gazzetta dello Sport report, the best news of the day is Baresi returning to Casa Milan, one of his favourite places and his workplace. It actually came last week and, like the first day of spring, it put the entire club in a good mood because the captain is always the captain.

Hellas Verona forward Giovane could become a hot property when the transfer window opens, with AC Milan among the teams linked. As reported by Tuttosport, Giovane is the latest signing that Verona sporting director Sean Sogliano deserves credit for, given that he snatched him up on a free transfer from Corinthians in July with his deal there having expired. On the rise In hindsight, it's a steal, considering the 22-year-old striker is already worth €15m and is tempting all the big clubs.

Inter and AC Milan will contest Sunday's derby with an interesting sub-plot: both will almost certainly say goodbye to their starting goalkeepers next summer. As Calciomercato.com write, Yann Sommer and Mike Maignan will be poles apart at San Siro in two days, but they might just reach the same finish line at the same time. Both have contracts expiring next June and are far from reaching an agreement over a renewal.

"Yes, Milan is the team where I've been happiest. It was my first derby as a starter and the atmosphere was special. And then I made that promise... If I score a brace, I'll walk home." "No, Inter equalised in injury time, I would have only gone if we had won." "No, not fear, it's a feeling of happiness because you're part of something you saw on TV as a child. You're proud to have gotten there."

Matteo Gabbia is held in high regard by AC Milan fans for a few reasons. The biggest, though, has to be his last-minute winner against Inter. There is something beautiful about the story of Gabbia. From a background option to a derby winner, to a needed body in an injury crisis, to a potential captain. For those that love stories in football, his is as good as they get.

I saw the images of the NFL match at the Bernabéu: a beautiful event. But in football, there is still the idea that if something has never been done, then there must be a reason. Instead, I have always thought that we need to ask ourselves whether what has always been done is right or whether it is time for a change.
