Milan remained the only unbeaten team across Europe’s top five leagues. Stefano Pioli’s side is one point above Inter Milan, which won 6-2 at Crotone thanks to a Lautaro Martínez hat trick.
The Rossoneri face arguably their biggest test so far of the season when they host nine-time defending champion Juventus on Wednesday.
“It’s not decisive, it will just be a nice game between teams who are playing well,” Pioli said. “I’m still convinced that Juventus, Inter and Napoli are the strongest teams in the league.
“We have to look at our position in April, if it’s still the same then we can have other discussions.”
