“I am obviously very excited to be play against Lukaku but it is Inter against Juve, not de Ligt against Lukaku,” the young Dutch defender said.

“It will be a difficult match, Inter are a great team but we are too. We are improving day by day as a team and I personally feel that am getting better and better also.”

Juventus themselves are unbeaten in all competitions this season and head into Sunday two points behind their rivals.
