Milan tactician Carlo Ancelotti claims tomorrow's UEFA Cup game against Werder Bremen is worthy of the Champions League.
The Rossoneri missed out on qualification for Europe's premier club competition after finishing fifth last season.
So now Milan are expected to deliver UEFA Cup glory, but their tie with German side Werder Bremen is level at 1-1 ahead of tomorrow's second leg.
“It's only a UEFA Cup game but we see it as a Champions League battle,” Ancelotti said in today's Press conference.
“Our primary objective at the moment is to finish in the top three in Serie A, but we also want to reach another European Final and have to first negotiate Bremen.
“We are used to dealing with pressure and that doesn't scare me. On the contrary, that will give us an added push.”
Carletto then gave his view on city rivals Inter's Champions League stalemate with Manchester United yesterday.
“You have to have courage to play a waiting game as well,” he said. “Yesterday I saw a good game dominated by the English side in the first half and by Inter after the break.”
