Fiorentina midfielder Riccardo Montolivo insists they can beat AC Milan and clinch the final automatic Champions League spot.

"How much do we believe we can do it? A lot! We've believed ever since last week straight after the 1-1 draw with Lecce," said the midfielder.

"We are relaxed and know that we have already achieved our objective, so anything more is a bonus and we have nothing to lose.

"It's a Final, which means previous results don't count for anything. We must not go out there in a rush, but rather just aiming to play our football and see what happens."

It is a world away from mid-season, when fans protested after their exit from the Champions League and UEFA Cup.

"Some critics were a little too hasty. We always believed, it was those outside who had doubts on us. In difficult moments like the losses to Lazio or Palermo, we never lost sight of our objective."
