After a torrid start to the season, AC Milan are currently riding a seven match unbeaten streak in Serie A, but still sit seven points behind leaders Inter.

There's still considerable scepticism from many corners regarding the Rossoneri's chances of competing for the Scudetto, and this sentiment is shared by recently retired Milan legend Paolo Maldini.

"They won't do much in the league because they aren't a regular team," he said, speaking to Marca. "They can win or lose against anyone. In the Champions League we will see..."

Maldini isn't too optimistic about the future, saying, "They need to make some changes, but to do that they need a lot of money."

He then went on to compliment Barcelona star Lionel Messi, comparing him to another Argentine great.

"Sometimes he reminds me of [Diego] Maradona and he's certainly one of the best players I've ever seen," Maldini concluded.
