AC Milan skipper Riccardo Montolivo insists they can finish in the top three this season.

Milan hope to clinch Champions League qualification this term.

"As far as the squad goes, this team has what it takes to challenge for third," said the Italian international.

"But this is not the time for proclamations. We must stay humble and work.

"[Coach Filippo] Inzaghi gives us a great drive, he is an absolute motivator. And he's an excellent Coach. His best quality is his ability to learn quickly from the advice he is given."
