Former Italy striker Antonio Cassano remains unconvinced by Serie A's resurgence in Europe.

AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma, Juventus and Fiorentina are all in European semifinals.

But Cassano said on Bobo TV: "Inter are the ones who have everything to lose. They have to play in the Coppa Italia semi-final and then Lazio, whoever risks the most is whoever has to chase. No one months ago would have ever imagined that Lazio would be in second place in the standings at this point in the championship.

"Our football is 10-15 years behind the others, we had an a** to catch teams within our reach in the round of 16 and for this we have five teams in the semi-finals in the European Cups.

"But at the moment other countries like Portugal or Holland are also arriving, today AZ Alkmaar won the Youth League. Juventus are -18 from Napoli and yet I have to hear the coach tell me that the problem is the penalty."
