With the possibility to clinch a Champions League spot still on the table, Milan prepare to travel to Ferrara and face SPAL in 2018\2019 last round of games. Coach Gennaro Gattuso discussed the match in the pre-match press conference: "I know SPAL very well, I faced them when they were in Serie C. I've been taking on Semplici for years now. They have pacey wingers and are a great team. They will be determined to win because there is a big financial difference between 10th and 11th place. We need to play to our very best. We'll need to dig deep and focus solely on winning. This is a fantastic group of players, I am very grateful to them for all their hard work this season. Whatever happens tomorrow, it will not change my opinion of this squad."
At Milan the focus is solely on the next game, Gattuso confirmed: "My future? Being Milan's coach has been a dream come true and I hope that I can keep this dream going. It was an honour for me to be the coach of this team and I hope this will continue. No-one has been thinking about anything past this game; everyone, from the players to the management, have been focused on the match against SPAL and I have been very impressed by the mentality of the team".
