No CL football should incite Milan: Donnarumma

AC Milan must take advantage of the bitter experience of not being in the top four of last season and focus on repair in 2019-2020, according to Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Goalkeeper Donnarumma is injured in Milan's 3-2 win over SPAL last day of the 2018-19 campaign, a result that was not good enough to see them rivals Inter in fourth place.

The Rossoneri will not play at all in Europe next season, the club reached an agreement with UEFA to impose a ban after breaking the rules of financial fair play. however, Donnarumma had emphasized his commitment to the cause while Milan tries to regain his place in the first European place with the new coach Marco Giampaolo.

"I was upset to leave the field early in Ferrara [against SPAL] but I can not wait to start the new season"Donnarumma told Milan TV." It is disturbing not to be in Europe this year, but as our coach and director said, we can now focus on returning to the Champions Leaguewhere the club deserves to be. We were qualified for the Champions League with only 10 minutes to go but we all know how it ended.

"We were all disappointed but it must be a boost to reach our goal this year."

Donnarumma – which has been linked to a move to Paris Saint-Germain during the closing season – is very experienced while he's only 20 years oldalthough he still suffers from pre-season nerves.

"The first day of training is always rich in emotions, "he says. It always looks like my first time at Milanello and I am excited. I am eager to start training and give everything. We must do our best to return to where we deserve to be, it is in Europe.

"I'm more mature even though I'm only 20 years old but I feel more like a man now, which is also thanks to AC Milan, and I feel the same thing on the ground. I have improved a lot in many ways, but I still have a lot to do because it's never enough. You must always do your best at every workout to keep improving. "
