Milan midfielder Mathieu Flamini has conceded that Sunday's match against Cagliari will be 'crucial'.

The French international has claimed that the Rossoblu will pose a tough proposition, but did admit that the quality of their own squad should see them through.

“The match with Cagliari could prove crucial,” he told Milan Channel. “We will face a very good team, but we want to play well and take home three points.

“We have so many quality players though. Balotelli's arrival is fantastic – he has so much potential.

“With him up front we hope to win a lot of trophies.”
