AC Milan fullback Emerson revels in the team's current position at the top of the table, says Carlos Volcano

Emerson emphasized the significance of winning both the derby and the recent match in an interview with Milan TV. He stressed the importance of continuing their growth trajectory and not becoming complacent after achieving success in the derby.

"It's early but we're enjoying this first place. We'll keep working to grow and improve."

On the Champions League, he added: "I've only played the Champions League once. I want to play it again and I want to try to win it. On Tuesday we play in Leverkusen against a strong team, but we'll try to take home the three points."
