A sixth victory from seven league games this season for second-placed

, who have won all their opening seven matches.

“There are many strong sides in Italy, but in my view, there are no better teams than Milan in Italy,”

Calabria

told

DAZN

.

The Rossoneri opened the scoring after 28 seconds through

Davide Calabria

, then gone 3-0 up through

Sandro Tonali

and

Rafael Leao

.

Duvan Zapata

and

Mario Pasalic

were both on target to give La Dea late hope, but two goals were not enough for a comeback.

“We have to focus on ourselves and continue to believe we are the best. There are games and moments that change throughout the season, but we’ve got to keep riding the positive wave while we’re here. Then we’ll see what happens.”

Stefano Pioli

has really turned things around at Milan and has transformed the side that lost 5-0 to

in December 2019.

“He gives us faith, he has a clear idea of football that allows all of us to give our best. Intensity is the most important characteristic, as we can keep up the tempo for the whole match and that high press is really bringing results,” added Calabria.
