Zlatan Ibrahimovic calls on AC Milan to have the 'courage' to win Scudetto

AC Milan have made an unbeaten start to the season after 11 Serie A matches and Zlatan Ibrahimovic has called upon his team-mates to show the "courage" to win the Scudetto. Juventus have won the title nine years in a row, and Ibrahimovic led Milan to their last Italian crown in 2010-11.

AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic said his side need to have the courage to win a first Serie A title in nine years, insisting he and his team mates are hungry to dethrone Juventus.

Milan are top of the standings, three points ahead of city rivals Inter and four clear of Juventus, who are looking to win their 10th consecutive Italian top-flight title.
