After the draw against Sampdoria and Inter's win versus Sassuolo, Milan are 11 points behind the cross-city rivals in the race for the Scudetto. The Rossoneri aim to return to winning ways already tomorrow against relegation candidates Parma. On the eve of the match, Milan's coach Stefano Pioli discussed his team's goals and tomorrow's hame in the press conferece.

"I am not thinking about how many games we have left until the end of the season, I am only focused on tomorrow's game, we have to be focused solely on Parma because they are a physical team that plays an efficient football. Our goal is to reach 80 points. Only the press and the media talked about the Scudetto, our goal has always been to reach a Champions League spot."

The coach also focused on the players that have missed the past few games with injuries and addressed the situation regarding Donnarumma's contract extension: "Calabria could be available again next week. Mandzukic is a great guy, he is not 100% fit to play because he has been training with the rest of the group only for three days, but he will give us a huge hand from now on. The only players that won't be available for tomorrow are romagnoli, Calabria and Daniel Maldini. Donnarumma? I know that negotiations are ongoing, but every component of my team is only focused on tomorrow's game."
