Milan coach Leonardo believes that "life is good at the moment" after a difficult 2-0 win over Catania on Sunday night.

A brace from striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar deep in second half injury time secured maximum points for the Rossoneri, and saw them climb into second place, overtaking rivals Juventus.

"It was a tough match, as [Catania coach Gianluca] Atzori studied us, and closed down our spaces well.

"We used up a lot of energy, but the ultimate result was sweet.

"Everyone on the bench agreed with my choice to bring on Huntelaar, and am happy that he scored.

"Second place [on the table] is very sweet," the Brazilian concluded.

Milan are now seven points behind league leaders Inter, and a further point ahead of the Bianconeri.
