AC Milan boss Inzaghi rates Fiorentina clash as top four decider

AC Milan boss Pippo Inzaghi rates their clash with Fiorentina as a top four decider.

Milan climbed into fourth place in Serie A thanks to their 3-1 victory at Verona, so this is a head-to-head for position with Fiorentina.

"We had our best performance of the season against Verona and cannot afford to take a step backwards. The fact we are five points clear of Fiorentina at this stage is already important, as they are direct rivals for our targets. If they don't win on Sunday, the hunt for third place could get very complicated for them.

"I know the football world well and the dangers that lie in there. We must keep our feet on the ground and every day I tell my players we can't relax, even when 3-0 up. We are a team who need to find our confidence and positive results help, but I must also protect the squad from too much praise. We are Milan and we've achieved nothing yet."
