Script:

Italian giants AC Milan may be on a winter break as 2014 comes to an end and the new year approaches; but some of the squad took part in a driving experience ahead of their friendly match with Real Madrid in Dubai.

Philippe Mexes and midfielder Nigel de Jong were two of the players involved; showing their skills behind the wheel.

Under new coach Filippo Inzhagi, Milan's form has been inconsistent and they currently lie in seventh place in the Serie A standings.

But De Jong admitted that he believes Milan can get back to where they belong; the Champions League.

SOUNDBITE: (English), Nigel de Jong:

"My goals this year is to reach the Champions League again with Milan. That is where Milan belongs and we are going to try also this year to reach those places. We have to work hard to reach those places, but with the confidence that we have and the group method that we do, we have to reach those places."

Their first league game back following the winter break will be against Sassuolo on 6th January.
