AC Milan coach Rino Gattuso admits Sunday's clash with Fiorentina will be life-changing.

Victory will qualify Milan for the Europa League.

Gattuso said: "There is a big difference between the Champions League and Europa League, so we have regrets over dropped points, but then if we consider where we started, then we can be content. Mainly, we dropped five points against Benevento.

“Sixth place is life-changing, because if we finish sixth then we can have a pre-season tour in America and start the campaign later. We can stay here to train for 15 days in a row and we haven't experienced that in a long time.

“Otherwise, we'll have to do everything in a rush, it changes our lives and fitness levels. It's not to be taken for granted, just look at what happened yesterday in Frosinone-Foggia."
