AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri feels they're a season away from winning the Champions League.

The Rossoneri are through to the final 16 of the competition and will face Arsenal in the knockouts.

"Barcelona continue to be the best team in the world, but when we played against them - especially in Spain - they created few dangers," he told the Gazzetta dello Sport.

"We emerged from that game aware of what we could achieve against them. I believe next term can be the right one for the Champions League, but we can do great things this season too."
