AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri has said that he has nothing to complain about following his side's 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan.

Rodrigo Palacio scored a late goal to condemn Milan to their sixth league defeat of the season, and Allegri admits that his players tired towards the end of the game and could not match their opponents.

"We dropped a bit for the last 20 minutes and we could have done better in the final 20 metres and I believe the players and I have nothing to complain about," he told reporters.

"They did better than us in the last 20 minutes and they managed to surprise us late on. We have to improve in the league but we're the only Italian side in the last 16 of the Champions League.

"We also have the Italian cup. I saw a good game. Unfortunately we're behind in the league and we have to start winning."

Milan are currently 13th in the Serie A table.
