AC Milan coach Vincenzo Montella insists they can be happy with their season, despite ending it in defeat to Cagliari.

Defeat means the San Siro side finish the campaign in sixth and will play in the Europa League next year.

"We started badly, they had more rhythm," Montella said of the match against Massimo Rastelli's team.

"In the second half we did better, but then the final incident shaped the result.

"It wasn't a good match, I didn't enjoy it and I'm not happy to have lost."

Though disappointed with today's result, the former Fiorentina boss was more upbeat when discussing a season that has seen Milan win silverware and return to European competition.

"Other than today, it has been a very positive season. We have assessed many players, we have managed to get back into Europe and we have lifted a trophy.

"So it has been a positive season."
