AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti insists they will take the UEFA Cup seriously this season.

"We are aiming to reach the Final and it would be great if we could face Napoli in that game," smiled Rossoneri boss Ancelotti.

He was speaking ahead of Thursday's Trofeo Birra Moretti, which will see Milan, Napoli and Juventus go head-to-head in 45-minute matches at the Stadio San Paolo.

"It is always a pleasure to return to Naples. I can never forget Diego Armando Maradona's side, but Pierpaolo Marino and Aurelio De Laurentiis are constructing a great Napoli team. It would be wonderful to see them competitive in Europe again, too."
