AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti insists he was satisfied after their 0-0 draw with Parma.
"We are in fourth place right now and have achieved our target of being in the top four when the Champions League kicked off again, even if Fiorentina have a game in hand."
Kaka made his comeback on the evening, but Clarence Seedorf and Pato did not make the trip and are at risk for the Champions League.
"Seedorf will be there, I am certain, but if we do recover Pato in time then it will have to be at the last minute," said Ancelotti.
Arsenal were crushed 4-0 by Manchester United in the FA Cup today and Ancelotti was impressed.
"That is quite a surprising result, but also a lovely one for me. I hope it will be the same on Wednesday night."
