Hakan Calhanoglu s early header was enough for AC Milan as they held off Brescia 1-0 at San Siro to collect their first victory under head coach Marco Giampaolo.

Brescia, without the suspended Mario Balotelli, were unable to respond as they were joined on three points by their opponents.
Looking to avoid back-to-back losses to begin a Serie A season for just the third time in their history, Milan were ahe…

Wolfsburg playmaker Kevin De Bruyne says the high-flying German outfit have their sights set on securing a European berth.
Dieter Hecking s men have enjoyed an improved run of results since a 6-1 drubbing at the hands of Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich in early March.

As a result, the 2008-09 Bundesliga champions sit just one point adrift of the final UEFA Champions League qualification spot that is occupied by Bayer Leverkusen, who are woefully short of form with just one win from their last eight league games.
We re giving it a go. The fact is, we want to get into Europe, De Bruyne told the Bundesliga s offi…
