Milan coach Stefano Pioli said he believes his side are deserving of first place going into the final match of the campaign but need to keep up their level of performance against Sassuolo to claim the Scudetto.
The Rossoneri go into their final day showdown with Sassuolo two points clear of Inter and know a point would guarantee them the title.
However, defeat would open the door for Inter to snatch it away with a win over Sampdoria and Pioli said nothing has been won yet.
Asked at a press conference ahead of their clash with Sassuolo whether his side deserved the title, Pioli told reporters: “I will tell you tomorrow.
“Today, in my opinion we deserve to be first. We have been the best team so far but need to be tomorrow [against Sassuolo].”
Pioli also praised his players’ ability to deal with the pressure of a title race which has gone right until the final day of the season.
He added: “I believe my players will sleep well. They are strange in a positive sense.
“I see the same behaviour even though inside there must be so many thoughts and emotions. I usually don’t sleep much after the matches and I hope it’s like that tomorrow.”
Milan are in incredible form, having won their last five matches to take advantage of Inter’s shock defeat at Bologna on April 27.
Since then, both sides have taken maximum points but Milan remain two points clear.
The Rossoneri are chasing a first Scudetto since 2010—and their 19th overall to bring them level with Inter.
