Palladino states it is an honour to fight alongside Milan: “Gives us pride” | OneFootball

Despite being outside of the European places currently, AC Milan still find themselves in a battle for a place in the top six, something which Raffaele Palladio takes great pride in.

In a season where Milan have been tremendously poor, they still find themselves in a position where salvation is possible, even if it may be impossible. For Sergio Conceicao, the goal remains to enter the Champions League, an unlikely goal, but one that is not impossible yet.

Then, there is the Europa League and Europa Conference League places, where the Rossoneri can still earn money from, something which will not be turned down if offered. However, there are teams standing in the way at present.

It may not be the case for too long though, as the Diavolo still have some huge games remaining, and this morning, Fiorentina’s head coach Palladino offered some words of reflection (via Milan News) on the Viola’s season, especially with Milan set to face them soon.

[The win against Juventus was a] Perfect match, we were always in control. Proof of the maturity of the team, the signs had already been there between Napoli and Panathinaikos. A victory that gives momentum, the fact of being there to play against Lazio, Bologna, Milan and Roma gives us pride.

Are the upcoming matches against Atalanta and AC Milan a crossroads?

“No, but they are two very important matches. But we have nine finals, it’s a very balanced championship and all the points count.”
