Gennaro Gattuso commended AC Milan for having the character to conquer their "fear" during a testing Europa League victory over Dudelange.
Milan scored four times in the second half to prevail 5-2 on Thursday, but not before falling behind to their modest opposition.
Dominik Stolz and David Turpel silenced San Siro as they overturned Patrick Cutrone's 21st-minute opener with well-taken finishes either side of half-time.
The Rossoneri eventually recovered with two own goals and one apiece from Hakan Calhanoglu and Fabio Borini establishing a strong position ahead of their final Group F fixture away to Olympiacos, where a point or one-goal loss would be enough to advance.
