"I'd rather not say anything about that play. Let's not talk about the play, it's done, we lost 2-1, nothing we say will change that, let's not waste time."

The magnitude of this game is such that it feels like the biggest of the season so far. Inter got closer in the last round, but Napoli are on a good run of form and actually jumped above Milan for a night.

I'm very happy. We knew how important these three points were, especially as this match came after the international break. It's difficult to manage because we had a lot of players involved, most of them had travelled and played matches. It was the moment to win these three points.

The table is so tight that the title race and the fight to survive relegation looks like going to the wire, with teams battling for Europe still also looking over their shoulder at the relegation zone.

Milan's upcoming match against Napoli is crucial for their Scudetto and Champions League aspirations. Allegri must ensure his XI can secure a win under pressure.
