AC Milan coach Rino Gattuso branded their season targets a joke after their 1-1 draw with Cagliari.

Gattuso was asked about targeting the Serie A top three.

“It's laughable," he replied.

"There is a long road ahead of us and if we can't win this type of game, and in fact I thought we were lucky to get a point, then it makes me laugh to hear people say we're the second or third top team in Serie A. If we manage to improve certain aspects, then we can go far.

“This team has the passion and the grit, but needs a punch in the teeth before it pulls that out. We've got to read games better and have the right attitude.

“In the first 20 minutes, we did the exact opposite of everything we had prepared. If we want to be protagonists this season, we can't afford to do that."
