AC Milan coach Gennaro Gattuso was left frustrated in the Parma heat after Bruno Alves denied his side a crucial win with a late free-kick.
Milan were held to a 1-1 draw in the Serie A clash on Saturday after veteran defender Alves scored with a majestic free kick for the midtable hosts with three minutes left.
The 37-year-old Portugal defender curled his effort over the wall and squeezed it between Gianluigi Donnarumma and the near post to give Parma a deserved point and hand Milan a setback in their quest to qualify for next season's Champions League.
