Franck Ribery delighted scoring in Fiorentina win at AC Milan

Franck Ribery was delighted scoring in Fiorentina's 3-1 win at AC Milan.

The 36-year-old was given a standing ovation by both sets of fans at San Siro when subtituted.

“I am happy, when you play at San Siro, it's always special. It's a huge arena, so many fans. It's a bit difficult for Milan fans right now, but we put in a good performance and that's important for us," he told Sky Sport Italia.

“Yes, I am old, but I feel young on the pitch! Football is my life, I love it. I was hungry when I came to Fiorentina and it excites me to see the team doing so well.

“I came to help Fiorentina, the players and the fans. I am happy, but I need to work every day, every week to play the way I did tonight."

Federico Chiesa saw a penalty saved, but Ribery added: “Federico is a good player, I always talk to him and he listens. It's important for him and for the team."
