"We have to try and win games because you don't get anywhere with just 60 points. Inter have a seven-point advantage, they've shown us that they're the best and the strongest. There are also teams behind us chasing. We have to win more games to reach a certain quota. We have to win five more games to get into the top four."
"Now we've got Lazio, though, which is always a complicated game because Sarri's sides are difficult to face. For us it's an important game because we want to take another step forwards. We're all happy after the last game and rightly so, but the team returned to a calm state."
AC Milan defeated league leaders Inter last weekend, reducing the gap to eight points. Milan currently holds 60 points from 28 matches and sits nine points clear of fifth-place Roma. Allegri emphasizes that five additional victories are necessary to guarantee a top-four finish and Champions League qualification. Only twice in the past 20 seasons has Milan recorded at least 63 points after 29 games. The manager acknowledges Inter's strength while noting that teams behind Milan are actively competing for the final Champions League spots. The upcoming match against Lazio represents an important step in Milan's pursuit of consistent results needed to reach their target points total.
