MILAN, May 19 (Reuters) - A second string AC Milan side lost 3-2 at home to Udinese on Saturday when the whole first team took a rest ahead of Wednesday''s Champions League final with Liverpool.

Milan defender Alessandro Costacurta, 41, converted a penalty in his final game for the club before he retires and becomes an assistant coach at the San Siro.

Carlo Ancelotti was able to rotate his squad because Milan have already wrapped up a Champions League qualifying spot through the league and Udinese are comfortably in mid-table.

He did not field a single player who is expected to be in the starting line-up in Athens on Wednesday.


Asamoah Gyan gave Udinese the lead before French midfielder Yoann Gourcuff tapped in for Milan on 36 minutes after a goalmouth scramble.

Udinese''s Antonio Di Natale and Barreto then netted either side of Costacurta''s penalty in the second half.
