AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri has taken aim at the media after defeat to Fiorentina.

Allegri is convinced many are waiting for Milan to fail.

He barked: "I realised that many, let's say the vast majority, couldn't wait for Milan to lose. There, it happened. Now we will move forward.

"Nobody expected this defeat, not even us, but we have the character to get back on our feet. It can happen in a season. Don't forget we had a long run-up to go four points clear of Juve, so you do pay for this strain. It's not over yet, though."
