Journalist Alessandro Alciato admits there was pressure not to air his interview with Paolo Maldini this week.

The Q&A with the AC Milan legend was aired on Radio Serie A TV, where Maldini was full of praise for Inter Milan, while critical of the Rossoneri.

Taking to social media today, Alciato said: "I didn't like the pressure not to broadcast it. Not at all."

On Inter, Maldini said: "Inter has a structure that determines the future of the sporting area.

"It was gratified with long-term contracts, there was an idea of strategy."
