AC Milan players determined to push Juventus to wire


AC Milan players won't let last week's Champions League disappointment in Barcelona shake their focus on hauling in Juventus in their Scudetto race.

"We must now concentrate on the domestic league," said AC Milan's top scorer Andriy Shevchenko.
"We will have to clinch nine points in the last three league games and then we will see what happens."
Milan have managed to reduce their deficit with Serie A leaders Juventus to three points and with three games remaining, the Rossoneri are well aware that the Scudetto's destination is yet to be decided.
"We will continue to try," said Milan defender Alessandro Nesta.
"If Juve make another mistake, it's going to be a very exciting end to the campaign."
While rivals Juve travel to Siena on Sunday looking to return to winning ways having drawn their last five league games, Milan play hosts to a reinvigorated Livorno.
