AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli hailed the character of his players for their 3-2 victory over Fiorentina.

Milan fought back from 2-1 down to win as Brahim Diaz and Hakan Calhanoglu struck in the second-half.

“This was the most difficult game, because we were coming off the disappointment of the Europa League, we had been playing every three days for many months and knew we had to scrape the bottom of the barrel for the remaining drops of energy to get it done," Pioli told Sky Italia.

"Ibra is right to talk about the Scudetto, because we were up there most of the season, we're not that far away now and we have the quality to play every single game for a victory. Whether we achieve it is another matter, but we can certainly try.

“Naturally, we started the season with very different objectives, as we were aiming to be in the top four. Now we are there, we want it to be a positive campaign right to the end. I've always said there will be four very happy teams at the end of the season and three who won't be."
