The game between the local clubs, known as the Derby della Madonnina, will be particularly hard-fought given that they are level on 19 titles apiece as it stands.
«We've had a magnificent ride, tomorrow could be a very important day for all of us but we're not experiencing it as an obsession,» Inzaghi told a news conference on Sunday.
«We had a dominant season; now the climb is about to end but we know what we have done.»
Inter are technically the away side for the game, though the teams share the San Siro as their home ground. For Monday's game, Milan fans will have a much larger allocation as they look to help their team delay Inter's title party.
Inter have enjoyed the better of the clash in recent times. In the first game between the teams in October, Inter ran out 5-1 winners, and they defeated Milan over two legs in the Champions League semifinals last season.
«The derby is always the derby, so there are excellent emotions,» Inzaghi said.
«The stakes are very high but we know well that we have won the last five derbies and they have given us great joy, they have allowed us to reach the Champions League final, but we know that tomorrow that counts for nothing.
»Victories and trophies in football count a lot. But I am happy with what we have managed to create, as a synergy, together with the club, the team, the fans."
Historically, Inter have won 90 of the official derbies, while Milan have won 79.
