After a year-long goalscoring drought mostly due to injury, Milan striker Marco Borriello hit the target twice tonight as the Rossoneri beat Parma 2-0 at San Siro.

"It's a nice evening for me and Milan," he said to Sky Sport after the match. "I'm doing well, the dark period is over; now I can't wait for Tuesday.

"I'm still not completely fit. I feel it in my legs, I can give more. After the break, I think I'll be at my best. Thankfully things are getting better now.

"I almost could have stopped playing because if I hadn't had the  operation on my muscle, it would have been tough to continue playing. So I also thank professor Castellacci, who fixed me up surgically. Now I'm here and I'm enjoying this evening."

Milan are now fourth in the table with 19 points. The Rossoneri's next match is on Tuesday night against Real Madrid in the Champions League.
