AC Milan players insist they're still in the Scudetto hunt, despite yesterday's dramatic derby defeat.

"It was difficult before, it's difficult now. We've never hidden that fact or pretended it would be easy," said Clarence Seedorf.
"We just have to keep going, as Milan are alive and kicking. We don't want to seek excuses for this defeat. We conceded two goals and struggled, but then came back and created plenty of
opportunities by playing well.
"President Silvio Berlusconi came into the locker room afterwards to compliment the team. He said he was standing by our side and that we shouldn't feel knocked down by this result."
With seven goals and countless chances, it was quite an introduction to the Milan derby for summer signing Ricardo Oliveira.
"The team reacted really well in the second half, once we changed some things around," said the Brazilian.
"It was a very entertaining
game and I'm sure the fans enjoyed themselves. As for the title race, last season Milan were a long way off Juventus, but managed to almost catch them by the end. It's not over yet."
