(Reuters) - AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli insisted that losing a top-four place on the final day of the Serie A season would not be a failure for his side after they drew with Cagliari to squander a chance to seal Champions League qualification.

Victory over the Sardinian side would have secured a place in European club football's top competition for the first time since 2013-14 for Milan, but they toiled to a 0-0 draw to leave the top-four race wide open.
