AC Milan hero Billy Costacurta believes the club is on the right track after an impressive end to the season.

Costacurta believes Zlatan Ibrahimovic has made the difference since his January arrival.

“I'm optimistic. The players understood the philosophy and then the possibility of performing well behind closed doors facilitated their insertion," he told Sky Sport Italia.

“Before Ibrahimovic's arrival, Pioli travelled with the medium pace of [former coach Marco] Giampaolo, then when Zlatan arrived, he doubled the pace.

“For me, there's a pre and post Ibra, more than a pre and post lockdown."
