AC Milan defender Thiago Silva admits they risk losing their automatic Champions League place ahead of their clash with Fiorentina.
The Brazilian has branded their match with the Viola their "most important of the season".
"It will be the most important game of the season," the defender told Milan Channel.
"A victory would put us very close to the Champions League, whereas a defeat would absolutely not be a positive thing.
"We must win at all costs if we want to qualify for Europe without any late nerves. Fiorentina cannot make another mistake if they want to reach the Europa League.
"This is why I feel it will be a different and I think also positive match for us."
