Rui Costa reveals Final dream

Portuguese playmaker Manuel Rui Costa has admitted he dreams of a Euro 2004 final between the hosts and Italy.

The talented midfield schemer does not see host nation Portugal as a favourite to land the trophy - instead looking towards Italy and France as potential winners.

''My favourites are Italy and France,'' confirmed Rui Costa.

''Portugal, as hosts - we consider ourselves as outsiders.

''Anyway, I'd really like to to play in a final against the Azzurri.''

Rui Costa has endured a mixed season for Milan and admits his future with the Serie A champions is far from certain.

''For a player who is not always a regular it is normal to be linked with these speculations,'' continued Rui Costa.

''But if we agree, I don't see too many reasons to leave.''
