MILAN (Reuters) - AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli believes his team have been the best side in Serie A this season, and he challenged his players to maintain that performance level ahead of Sunday's final-day showdown at Sassuolo, with the Scudetto on the line.

League leaders Milan's task is a simple one: A draw or win at Sassuolo will be enough for Pioli's side to secure their first league title in 11 years. Defeat would allow champions Inter Milan to retain the trophy should they beat Sampdoria.
