Inter midfielder Dejan Stankovic, and Juventus star Milos Krasic have presented Sunday's much anticipated Derby d'Italia fest.
Rivalry between both teams is well documented, and the sparks are flying following the latest Calciopoli trial in Naples on Friday.
Inter's accusations during the week that Juventus owed them more titles has armed fans for battle and the players are also fired up for on-the-pitch action.
Stankovic knows all about the derby and told La Gazzetta dello Sport, "The anti-Inter? It's early to say. Some people say one team [Milan], and others say another [Juventus].
"What game do I expect? The one I saw against Manchester City. Short, tight and compact, Juve players behind the ball.
"As for Krasic, he deserves to be at Juventus because he is a great guy. He could be the right man for Luigi Del Neri especially if he learns how to defend with resistance."
Krasic can't wait to lock horns with his Serbia team-mate and said, "Inter - Juventus? I cannot wait to play it. Just thinking about it gives me emotions.
"It's a game the represents Italian football, the biggest game, the maximum in Serie A.
"I think it's the most important game of my career. It's on a par with the UEFA Cup I won in 2005 with CSKA Moscow."
The winger, who has been compared to Pavel Nedved, admits Stankovic tried to convince him to join Inter. But Juve's razzmatazz won his appeal.
"Stankovic told me to go to Inter, but the real offer came from Juventus. At that point I had no doubt and I fell in love with the Bianconeri."
