Rattled Rossoneri bid to rescue season

AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani said yesterday his team need to fight for their lives to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

Four places in Europe’s top club competition are open to Italian sides but Milan currently sit fifth in Serie A and four points behind fourth-placed Fiorentina.

They also failed in the defence of their European crown at the first knock-out hurdle, dismantled 2-0 on aggregate by Arsenal in the second round.
