“We mustn’t think about the most recent home defeat to Benevento. Today we have to win at all costs, even if we play badly,” Abbiati told Mediaset Premium.

“It would mean getting into sixth place and then waiting for Atalanta’s result against Lazio tomorrow. Gennaro Gattuso has given so much to this team, including the Milan spirit, which is fundamental. Before him, it seemed as if winning and losing was the same thing, whereas a club like Milan must always play for the victory.

“I am sure Gattuso will become a great Coach.”

If the Rossoneri fail to finish in the top six, there is another option for Europa League qualification, as they face Juventus in the Coppa Italia Final on Wednesday.

“It’s an important match, we care about the Coppa Italia and it’d mean direct Europa League entry. Juventus start as favourites, but today we have to win this match.”
