AC Milan star Kaka admits their looming derby with Inter is a genuine six-pointer in the title race this season.

The Rossoneri returned to winning ways in the midweek round, earning a 1-0 win away at Chievo after a series of draws and the shocking defeat to Palermo over the weekend.
"This is a very important match - we are motivated to do well," said Kaka on Thursday, chatting with his supporters on the club's website.
"I think this derby is worth six points, seeing as if we win we earn three points and they lose three points as well. We want to do all we can to stop our main rivals.
"We still believe that we can do well in the Serie A and we are also concentrating on the Champions League, because it remains a special title for a football player.
"However, the championship also has its special charm this year," continued the 24-year-old.
"I must admit that we are not enjoying much luck at the moment - we have created many
opportunities in the past few matches and were not able to score.
"I don't believe that the World Cup influenced our performances, but the fact that we have a match scheduled every three days would cause problems to any team.
"Milan are a winning side, they proved this in the past and I am sure they will prove it again in the future - I have no doubts about this," concluded Kaka.
