Inter Milan defender Ivan Cordoba believes that AC Milan could be genuine contenders for their league title this season.

Cordoba was full of praise for the Rossoneri after their recent upturn in form and results - and warned his team-mates not to be complacent despite holding a seven point advantage in the league.

Speaking to the clubs official website he said "They have great players, a coach like Leonardo who is growing and have a lot of experience, both in terms of players and as a group.

"Initially the team did not go through a very good moment, but they always possess weapons to recover and I think that Inter must be careful about this, and therefore continue to do well like we are doing now.

"The most important thing is the good of the team, because, in the end, we're all happy or sad for what we reach or we could have reached," concluded the player once thought to be the quickest defender in world football.

Inter are currently top of Serie A ahead of Juventus and Milan.
