A split is developing between AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani and coach Massimiliano Allegri. The Rossoneri were humbled 5-1 by Jose Mourinho's team this week in a heavily one-sided affair. Allegri suggested post-match that concentration was the difference, but Galliani reportedly thinks otherwise.

"When you play against Real Madrid you should not think it is just a friendly," he was reported as saying by the Gazzetta dello Sport.

"We're in New York, in front of 60,000 people, a full stadium, all eyes on him, millions of eyes connected via the TV. Milan is not playing at a Serie D side."

He added: "Mourinho has made as many changes? But have you seen Real? Kaka, Higuain, Arbeloa. As many changes were not made.

"It was a serious mistake and I will not tolerate these figures. I'm p***ed off."
