Milan captain Riccardo Montolivo has warned UEFA Europa
League qualification remains unlikely despite their fine recent form.
Montolivo scored the only goal in Sunday's 1-0 victory
over Catania with a first-half stunner at San Siro, as Milan won a fourth
straight Serie A win to move up to eighth in the table.
They sit five points off rivals Inter, who occupy the
final Europa League place, with one of their five remaining games being the
second Milan derby of the season on May 4.
Italy international Montolivo feels his side may have to
win all of their remaining fixtures to qualify for Europe, but stated belief
was high in the camp under Clarence Seedorf's guidance.
"We can't afford any more slip-ups this season, we
have to win every game," the skipper told the club's official website.
"It'll be tough but we can do it. I needed that goal
and I'm happy it was a decisive one.
"It'll be tough against Livorno but we have to go
for the win. The Europa League is still distant, we can't be making
calculations and we have to think only about ourselves.
"We believed in this comeback and day by day the
work we're doing is paying off."
