Milan assistant manager Mauro Tassotti said they “must certainly do more than recent games” in the Coppa Italia with Lazio tonight.
It kicks off at 19.45 GMT at San Siro and is a one-off clash, the winner going on to face Inter or Napoli in the semi-finals.
“We must certainly do more than in recent games,” Tassotti told Milan Channel.
“Lazio are, along with Juventus, one of the form teams in Italy at the moment. It’s difficult, but this is a one-off game and is fundamental, as it could mean going into Europe.”

These teams met on Saturday in Serie A, Milan fumbling an early lead to lose 3-1 at the Stadio Olimpico.
The injury list is lengthy and Nigel de Jong was a late addition.
“Riccardo Montolivo will play in that role in front of the defence for the second match in a row. Muntari is back and we hope to have a bit more energy from some of those who haven’t played as much.”
