AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani insists they're the equals of today's opponents Juventus.
There is a 15-point gap between them in the Serie A table, but Vice-President Galliani sees it a different way.
"I would like to underline the 15-point gap has been steady after Week 8. That means for 24 rounds we have been picking up the same number of points as the Bianconeri," Galliani told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"Our squad is not inferior to theirs, as we have been on a par with them for three-quarters of the campaign. I'd say there is absolutely no quality gap that we must bridge.
"If next season Milan and Juve started with the same squads as today, you can be confident in the first eight games we wouldn't fall 15 points behind."
