AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale admits qualifying for next season's Champions League is more important than tonight's semifinal.
As Milan prepare to meet Inter Milan in the first-leg tonight, Cardinale concedes he wants to be sure they'll be in next season's edition.
The RedBird Capital chief said: "My competitive energy is in circulation and I want to win more than anything else.
"From a business point of view, however we cannot lose sight of the fact that we have to qualify for the next Champions League."
Milan currently sit fifth on the Serie A table.
