Milan’s Moreira: ‘An honour to wear Kaká’s No 22, I’d die for my team in the derby’

Diego Moreira, the Belgian winger for AC Milan, expressed his excitement about wearing Kaka's No 22 shirt as it represents an honor for him. Ahead of Milan's upcoming derby against Inter at San Siro, Moreira spoke to DAZN's "Remember the Name" series about his feelings towards the prestigious jersey. The 22-year-old joined Milan from Strasbourg for a reported €50 million fee, signing a five-year contract.

Moreira has missed the last two league games due to hamstring fatigue, but he is fit for the crucial match against Inter.

Moreira is aware of Kaka's significant derby debut goal in a 3-1 win over Inter in October 2003, which remains one of the most memorable games in European football. He stated, "I know he scored his first goal against Inter. It's one of the biggest games in Europe, so we're fired up." Moreira emphasized his commitment to his team, saying, "If I get to play in this game, I'll die for my team. I can't wait." Milan currently sits fifth in the league with 18 points, trailing Inter and Lazio at the top by seven points.
