Andrea Pirlo believes that Milan have a great chance of qualifying for the next stage of the Champions League after they held Real Madrid on Tuesday evening.
The Rossoneri are joint top of Group C with Los Merengues and entertain Marseille, who are third and only a point behind, in their next encounter in the San Siro.
Despite an inconsistent start to the season, things are beginning to look more optimistic for Milan, and Pirlo thinks that home advantage could give his side the edge when they tackle OM.
"The group is still tight but we have a good chance of qualifying for the knockout stage because our next match is against Marseille at home," he was quoted as saying by uefa.com.
"It will be a tricky encounter but playing them in front of our own fans will help."
Pirlo was pleased with his performance against Madrid and felt that the team as a whole were impressive.
"It was important for [Massimo] Ambrosini and I to stop any balls coming through and we did that. But the whole side ran themselves ragged to hassle and harry," he continued.
"[Alexandre] Pato and Ronaldinho on the flanks gave us a huge hand and if we keep going like this we'll be fine.
"It was an exciting match which was enjoyable to play in with chances for both sides. We both wanted to win but in the end we were forced to settle for a point."
