AC Milan goalkeeper Diego Lopez has said that his team are still in with a chance of qualifying for Europe this season.
The Rossoneri are currently ninth in the Serie A table following an inconsistent campaign.
They were unable to make further ground on the top six after playing out a goalless draw with rivals Inter Milan on Sunday, but Lopez is confident that his side can still achieve their ambitions.
"We are doing better at the back," Lopez told Milan Channel. "I think it is just the results that are missing. We're improving in terms of our performances and our desire.
"The past two draws complicate our European hopes, but we have to keep trying. There are still seven games to go and there are still lots of points up for grabs.
"We have to keep fighting right until the end for a European finish. Then, we will see what happens. We always play to win."
Milan are next in action on Saturday evening, when they travel to Udinese.
