Fiorentina star Felipe Melo has declared his joy at securing a place in next season's Champions League.
The Viola secured their place in Europe's premier club competition by grabbing a last-gasp draw with Lecce last weekend.
A two-goal win over Milan on the final day would even allow the Tuscans to overhaul the Rossoneri and steal third place.
“It was a great season,” Melo enthused. “The strength of this group has allowed us to reach an important target.
“There was a great party when we arrived home. We were received as champions and now we want to do better in our next Champions League campaign.”
It has been a positive spell for Melo, who was selected in Carlos Dunga's Brazil squad for World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Paraguay and the Confederations Cup.
