It was a good game against a really strong opponent, one of the best in Europe. [It was] important to defend properly. We showed we can defend high, when they came a bit higher with their quality, we had to manage the ball in the final third. They created many chances, but the character was good. Even when we were on the edge, we had one foot, one head, something to protect the ball.
An almost perfect game plan executed excellently by Milan, there are several reasons to like the performance against the Giallorossi. Even on a personal level, there was so much to praise from different players. Rafael Leao continued to show his maturity, and the team all played their roles. However, the limelight will go on Mike Maignan for his penalty save and Strahinja Pavlovic, whose time with the Rossoneri is being defined by consistent, strong performances, this time crowned by a goal.
